Ingredients
FOR THE CARNE ASADA
- 1-2 Serrano peppers minced (or use jalapeno peppers for a milder version)
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- ¼ - ½ cup chopped cilantro
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Chili oil
- Juice from 2 large oranges about a ¾ cup
- Juice from 2 limes
- 3 tablespoons white wine vinegar apple cider vinegar is good, too
- 1 tablespoon ancho powder optional, but I LOVE it
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 pounds skirt or flank steak
FOR THE TACOS & TOPPINGS
- 12 corn tortillas warmed
- roasted jalapeno peppers
- diced tomato
- Diced avocado
- fresh chopped cilantro
- spicy chili flakes
- Your favorite hot Sauce
Instructions
- Whisk together the serrano peppers, garlic, cilantro, olive oil, chili oil, orange juice, lime juice, vinegar, ancho powder, cumin and salt and pepper in a medium sized bowl until well combined. (Alternatively, you can process the ingredients in a food processor or blender until smooth.)
- To use the marinade, add it to a large sealable bag with the steak and rub it thoroughly into the meat. Seal and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for more flavor penetration.
- Discard the marinade, then grill the marinated steak on the grill for 8-10 minutes per side, or until cooked to your liking. 135 degrees F is medium-rare. Let the steak rest for 10 minutes, then slice it against the grain into bite-sized pieces.
- Serve the steak onto warmed tortillas and top with your favorite taco toppings - I'm using roasted jalapeno, avocado, tomato, cilantro, chili flakes and hot sauce.
