This easy new carne asada tacos recipe is packed with incredible flavor and simple to prepare. Perfect for family meals or special occasions!
Servings 4 servings
Ingredients
- ½lbs. flank or skirt steak trimmed of excess fat
- bottle Mojo Criollo 24.5 oz.
- ½ white onion very finely chopped
- ¼cup finely chopped fresh cilantro
- limes, one juiced , the other cut into wedges about 2 tbsp.
- ½tsp. salt
- tbsp. Corn Oil
- Corn Tortillas
Instructions
- Cut steak into ½” pieces; transfer to a large non-metallic bowl or deep dish. Pour Mojo over steak, making sure all pieces are completely submerged; cover and transfer to the refrigerator. Marinate at least 2 hours or up to 24 hours. Bring steak to room temperature 30 minutes before cooking; drain and discard marinade.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix together white onion, cilantro, lime juice, and salt until combined; cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
- Using a paper towel, pat steak dry. Heat oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add steak, making sure not to crowd the pan; cook in batches, flipping occasionally, until dark golden brown and cooked through, about 5 minutes per batch; transfer to serving platter; tent with foil to keep warm.
- Heat a large griddle, cast-iron skillet, or another heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add enough tortillas to cover the surface of the griddle; leaving some space between each tortilla. Cook, flipping once, until very lightly charred, warmed through, and pliable, about 30 seconds per batch; transfer tortillas to tortilla holder, a foil packet, or clean dish towel to keep warm.
- To assemble tacos, fill the tortilla with meat; garnish with reserved onion-cilantro mixture. Drizzle with taco sauce, if desired. Serve with lime wedges.
