Ingredients
  

For the Tacos
  • 1 pound Carne Asada Grilled flank steak for that rich flavor
  • 8 small Corn Tortillas Soft, warm vessels for your fillings
  • 1/2 cup Chopped Onion Adds a zesty crunch
  • 1/2 cup Chopped Cilantro Freshness that pops
  • 1 piece Lime Cut into wedges for a zesty finish
  • Salt and Pepper Essential seasonings
  • Salsa Optional for an extra kick
  • Avocado Optional for creaminess to balance flavors

Method
 

Grilling and Assembling
  1. Preheat your grill to high.
  2. Season the carne asada with salt and pepper. Grill the steak for about 5-7 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until your desired doneness.
  3. Let the carne asada rest off the grill for about 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
  4. Chop the grilled carne asada into bite-sized pieces.
  5. Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet or on the grill for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable and slightly charred.
  6. Place a portion of chopped carne asada on each tortilla.
  7. Sprinkle chopped onion and cilantro on top, adding a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Serve with lime wedges and optional salsa or avocado.

Notes

For a healthier option, incorporate beans or load up on veggies. Cilantro adds antioxidants and detoxifying properties. For storage, keep beef and tortillas separately in airtight containers.
