Carne Asada Tacos

These Carne Asada Tacos are inspired by our love of carne asada! There is nothing like the smell of grilled steak cooking away alongside spring onions over the grill; simply served with warm tortillas, homemade guacamole and a good Mexican salsa on the side. Pure glory! So we wanted to recreate this same feeling, but for a day when perhaps there is not a lot of time to get the grill going but still be able to enjoy that carne asada taste. For the days where you do have that extra time and nice weather, get the barbecue going and just use the same recipe! For any other day get your pan very hot in your kitchen, marinate your steak quickly and cook it to your liking (we recommend medium especially if using bavette). Pop in a couple of spring onions on the side to get that lovely charred flavour and juices from the meat in them. Serve your steak sliced and wrapped in Soft Taco Wraps, topped with fresh homemade guacamole and our Chipotle Salsa, with lime wedges and those delicious grilled onions on the side. This carne asada recipe is best served with a side of Baked Mexican Elotes. Did you know? What cut of meat is carne asada? There isn’t one specific cut. Inexpensive cuts work great as it doesn’t have to be tender to start with. Try bavette, skirt or hanger steak. They have nice marbling and fat which keeps the meat moist. Another trick for tender meat is the carne asada marinade! The lime is what tenderises the meat, and the Smoky Chipotle Fajita and Taco Mix brings that beautiful smoky depth of flavour!
