Carne Asada

I love tacos! One of my favorite types of tacos is a tradiontal Mexican street taco with carne asada. This recipe will give you one of the juiciest most flavorful carne asada tacos you’ve ever had.

Ingredients:

• ¾ cup Fresh orange juice

• ½ cup Fresh lemon juice

• ⅓ cup Fresh lime juice

• 4 cloves garlic, minced

• ½ cup soy sauce

• 2 teaspoon finely chopped canned chipotle pepper

• 1 tablespoon chili powder

• 1 tablespoon ground cumin

• 1 tablespoon paprika

• 1 teaspoon dried oregano

• 1 tablespoon black pepper

• 1 bunch fresh cilantro, chopped

• ½ cup olive oil

• 3 pounds thinly sliced bottom round steak or skirt steak

Instructions:

• Mix all of the ingredients (minus the meat) together in a bowl

• Place the meat in a gallon ziplock bag

• Reserve 1 cup of the marinade and place in a container. (This will be used to baste the meat while you are cooking it)

• Add the rest of the marinade in with the meat

• While closing the ziplock bag remove as much air as you can

• After the bag is completely sealed, mix around the marinade so it covers ALL of the meat

• Place the bag into a large bowl and put it into the refrigerator overnight

• In the morning flip the bag over so that the marinade can penetrate the meat evenly

• Preheat your BBQ to 500 degrees

• Place you meat onto the BBQ baste the top with the marinade after a couple of minutes flip over the meat (make sure there are char marks from the grill grates)

• Baste the other side of the meat and let cook for another couple of minutes

• Remove the meat and let it rest for 5 minutes

• Chop up the carne asada and serve on a corn tortilla (*optional you can add minced onion and a squeeze of fresh lime on top)

ENJOY!
