Traditionally marinated and then grilled to perfection, this dish is commonly enjoyed in tacos, burritos, or simply on its own. This recipe captures the essence of a sunny day in Mexico, with the sizzle of steak on the grill, the tanginess of fresh citrus in the air, and the warmth of gathered friends and family.

Each bite takes you on a flavor journey, with the marinade infusing the meat with depth and zest. It’s a perfect dish for any occasion, from casual gatherings to special celebrations.
How to Serve
Serve these Carne Asada Tacos on warm corn tortillas for an authentic experience. Top them with chopped cilantro, diced onions, a squeeze of lime, and a drizzle of hot sauce for an extra kick. Accompany with a side of guacamole and salsa for a complete meal.
How to Store
Leftover carne asada can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet over medium heat until warm. It’s best to store tortillas separately to maintain their texture.
