Come hell or high water, I’m gonna make tacos sometime this weekend. I haven’t had my homemade tacos lately. Happy Friday! I hope you have a great weekend!
Dave’s Carne Asada Street Tacos
2 lbs. carne asada (skirt steak or tri-tip)
Kosher salt and fresh-ground pepper, to taste
2 teaspoons garlic powder
3 tablespoons canola oil
1 Serrano pepper, sliced
1 Roma tomato, diced
1 small white or yellow onion, finely diced
1 bottle Mexican beer
32 street taco corn tortillas
White or yellow onion diced, for garnish
Fresh cilantro roughly chopped, for garnish
Lime wedges, for squeezing
Hot sauce, for serving
Guacamole, for serving
Mix the cumin, salt, garlic powder, pepper, and coat the carne asada with it.
Slice into strips, then dice.
Add it to a large plastic bag or bowl with a cover, and mix the meat with the Serrano pepper, tomato, onion, and beer.
Allow to marinate for at least 15 minutes, but up to 1 hour.
Heat a large skillet or griddle with the canola oil over medium high heat, then pour in the entire marinated mixture and allow to cook, stirring occasionally, until all the liquid has evaporated and the meat is cooked through, around 20 minutes.
Build your tacos with the meat and your choice of toppings.
Enjoy!!
