Carne Asada Tacos
Carne asada tacos depend on browned beef, a clean grill flavour, warm tortillas, and restrained toppings.
Choose beef suited to fast cooking
Skirt, flank, flap, and other cuts are commonly used, but names vary by market. The meat should be sliced across the grain after resting.
Look for real browning
The beef should have seared edges without tasting burnt or being cooked into dry chips.
Keep toppings simple
Onion, cilantro, lime, salsa, and perhaps avocado are enough to support the grilled flavour.
At home, avoid crowding
Use a very hot grill or pan, cook in batches, and rest the meat before slicing.
