Share:
Ingredients
- 2 lbs skirt steak
- 1 Corona beer or your favorite beer
- Carne asada marinade
Assembly
- 12 corn tortillas
- refried beans
- 1 cup cotija cheese , crumbled
- 2 limes , quartered
- 1/2 cup cilantro , chopped, lightly packed
Instructions
- Marinate the steak in Corona beer for two hours, covered, in the refrigerator.
- Meanwhile, make the carne asada marinade and store it in the fridge until you're ready to use it. After marinating the steak in beer, transfer the steak to a clean container and pour the asada marinade over the meat.
- Cover the container and transfer it to the refrigerator for 3 hours.
- Start your grill. Use the highest heat possible. I mean smoking, blistering, searingly hot. For skirt steak, grill 3 minutes per side, or 5 minutes per side for flank steak (depending on the thickness and how you like it cooked). Remove carne asada from heat and allow it to rest for 5 minutes.
- While meat is resting, grill the tortillas on each side until slightly charred.
- Slice carne asada thinly across the grain and serve with refried beans spread on grilled tortillas. Top asada tacos with crumbled cotija cheese, chopped cilantro and a squeeze of lime.
Notes
- Nutrition information shown is for carne asada steak, without tortillas or toppings.
