We love tacos in my household. I serve these street tacos with Pico de Gallo, fresh guacamole, and queso fresco.

We look forward to traveling down to Mexico every year for the best tacos in the world, and the resorts are nice too ????. In California we have some of the best tacos around, the taste is so distinct from anywhere else. Our Mexican food is incredible. I once traveled to Missouri for a national swim meet while in college. We went to a team dinner at a “Mexican restaurant, it was not the Mexican food I was expecting! Nothing beats good Mexican food! We are spoiled with it down here in Southern California.

So what makes this different from my Authentic Carne Asada? These carne asada street tacos use a dry rub marinade with lime and orange juice, and they don’t require long marination. I actually love both recipes however this one is easier, but just as flavorful! I like to mix up depending on what ingredients I have on hand.

What is a Street Taco?

Street tacos are smaller than your regular taco. They are always served on a warm corn tortilla, usually 2! That way you avoid ripping while eating. These tacos are made with carne asada, cilantro, onion, avacado and salsa.

They love being a part of the process. whenever I let my picky eater in the kitchen to help she always ends up eating her dinner for trying things she never would’ve to begin with she always ends up eating her dinner for trying things she never would’ve to begin with.

Traditionally flank or skirt steak. However, I think flank steak comes out best. It is a simple cut of meat and rather less expensive than the others. If you choose to marinate it overnight it really soaks up flavor so nicely.

How do you Cut Carne Asada for Tacos?

You always want to cut against the grain, even if we are cutting it in tiny pieces always start with cutting against the grain.

What is the grain? The grain is the natural, fibrous lines in muscles that run through cuts of beef. Sometimes you have to look closely but you will see them.
