Get ready to indulge in the most epic Carne Asada tacos of your life!
Today, we’re diving into the world of Mexican cuisine, and trust me, you won’t want to miss this!. No more boring, dry tacos!

Carne Asada, which literally translates to “grilled meat,” is a staple in Mexican cuisine. And for good reason – it’s incredibly juicy and tender, with a flavor that’s out of this world!
The key to making amazing Carne Asada is using the right cut of meat. You want to use outside skirt steak, which is a thin ribbon-like cut of beef with a rich, buttery flavor. It’s so tender it will make you cry!
But don’t just take our word for it – this recipe has been perfected over time, and it’s a game-changer. The mojo marinade is the secret ingredient that takes this dish from okay to amazing. With a blend of bold, robust flavors, it’s the perfect way to add some excitement to your tacos.

So, how do you make this magic happen? First, you’ll want to chop your outside skirt steak into smaller 6-inch long steaks. This will make it easier to marinate and grill. Then, you’ll want to marinate it in the mojo sauce for at least a few hours, or overnight if you can.
When you’re ready to grill, preheat your grill to high heat and let it get nice and hot. Remove the steaks from the marinade and let them sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes. This will help them cook evenly.
Next, wipe off any excess marinade and brush the steaks with a neutral oil. This will help prevent them from sticking to the grill. Then, throw them on the grill and cook for 1-2 minutes per side, or until they’re nice and charred.

Once your steaks are cooked, slice them against the grain into thin strips. This will make them nice and tender. Then, serve them in corn tortillas with all the fixings – pico de gallo, diced onions, guacamole, cilantro, salsa, radishes, lime wedges, and sour cream.
And don’t forget to serve it with a side of the mojo sauce – it’s the perfect way to add some extra flavor to your tacos.

So, what are you waiting for? Get grilling and make some amazing Carne Asada tacos today!
