Carne Asada Tacos


These tacos are so delicious. The flavor of the meat is just out of this world. With homemade tacos shells, this meat is perfect with a little lettuce, cheese, guacamole, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime. Delicious...

Ingredients
For the meat:
2 pounds Carne Asada (If you can't find carne asada at your store, look for skirt steak. If you can't find skirt steak, get flank steak and ask them to cut the meat about 3/8 inch thickness)
1 Lime, juiced
1 Lemon, juiced
1 Orange, juiced
1 tablespoons Chili Powder
1 tablespoon Oregano Leaves
2 tablespoon Cumin
1 teaspoon Coriander
5 cloves Garlic, coarsley chopped
1/4 cup Soy Sauce
1 Jalapenos, sliced thin
1/2 medium Onion, sliced thin
2/3 cup Water

For the tacos:
Corn Tortillas
Lettuce
Lime, wedges
Cheese
Cilantro
Guacamole

Directions
In a bowl, combine the juice of the lime, lemon, and orange. Add the soy sauce and water. Then add the chili powder, oregano, cumin, coriander, and garlic. Whisk all together well. Then add the jalapenos and onion slices. Pour it all into a large ziploc bag and add the carne asada. Massage the marinade into the meat. Stick the bag with the meat in the marinade in the fridge. Marinate overnight.

While the carne asada is grilling, start heating up some oil on the stove top. Once the oil is hot, stick a corn tortilla in it. Once it starts to get pliable in the oil, flip it to the other side of the tortilla. Fold it in half and using the spatula, hold up one of the sides while one side of the taco cooks. Once it is crisp (before browning) flip it to the other side of the taco and cook until crisp. Continue with the remaining tortillas for however many tacos you want.

When the carne asada is finished grilling, cut it into thin strips. Place them inside your homemade taco shells. Squeeze some lime juice over the meat in your shells and top with some lettuce, cheese, guacamole, and cilantro.
