The Best Beef Tacos Ever - Carne Asada Tacos!
I have to say that, to me, carne asada tacos are by far the best beef tacos I’ve ever had. Period. I’ve had other beef tacos and some of the were very good, some of them not so good. The trouble with some beef tacos is the chewiness. Either the cooks are working with sub quality meats, or they’re not marinating their beef long enough, or at all. Or perhaps they’re not cooking it properly. I wish I knew. It becomes a texture issue, which is why when I am craving some great beef tacos at home, I turn to carne asada tacos. These tacos always deliver, and they’re crazy easy to prepare, like awesome street tacos. Plus, there is enough to feed a crowd, so consider them for your next party. BOOM! It’s taco time! I know you’re going to love these tacos. So awesome. So delicious. So satisfying. This is everything a beef taco should be. Mexican food is my favorite. Do you prefer flour or corn tortillas? I hope you enjoy them. I recently did a series on carne asada recipes. Here are the links for your review.

How to Make Carne Asada Tacos - the Recipe Method
STEP 1: Marinate the Steak
First, make the carne asada marinade by whisking together the marinade ingredients. Alternatively, you can process the ingredients in a food processor or blender until smooth. I like to use my ThermoPop meat thermometer from ThermoWorks (I’m an affiliate). Works great! Almost there! That’s it, my friends. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do. I’m using roasted jalapeno peppers, diced tomato and avocado, cilantro, spicy chili flakes and a few dashes of hot sauce. Hot sauce, yes! Hot sauce on everything, my friends. There is so much more you can do, like chopped red onion for a bit of crunch, creamy guacamole, verde sauce. I’m getting hungry just thinking about all the topping possibilities. Try some of these topping ideas:

Serve them alongside these awesome Cantina Style Pickled Jalapenos and Carrots. So good! Got any questions? Ask away! I’m happy to help.
