Ingredients for Carne Asada Tacos Recipe:

• 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil
• 3 lbs flank steak (or you can use skirt steak)
• 1 white onion, chopped
• 2 fresh limes, plus extra for toppings (this is what i use to get all the lime juice out)

• teaspoon of pepper
• 1/2 stick of butter
• mini corn tortillas

How to make Carne Asada Tacos:

1. Thinly slice the steak. Then chop into bite site pieces.
   
   
2. In a skillet over medium high heat, begin to brown the steak in the oil. (you can also grill to medium heat if you prefer)
3. Add half the onions to the skillet and cook until soft. Save the rest of the onions.
4. Meanwhile season with salt and pepper.
5. Squeeze the juice of two fresh limes over the meat and onion mixture.
6. Continue cooking until the meat is cooked through.
7. While the steak is cooking, melt the butter in another skillet or I used an electric skillet.
8. Fry the mini corn tortillas in the melted butter for 1 minute until they are soft.
   
9. Allow them to cool slightly.
10. You will need 2 mini corn tortillas per taco.
11. Spoon the meat mixture on the tortillas.

We love to squeeze more limes over our tacos and serve with salsa verde.

You can purchase this but we have an amazing recipe for Homemade Salsa Verde here. It’s very simple to make and SO fresh and delicious.

I think these tacos are perfect with just a little extra lime and salsa. However, a few of the kids like to add sour cream and pico de gallo.

For a change, try orange juiced and olive oil. Whisk together with the lime juice and it’s delicious with the Carne asada taco.

Cotija cheese is a great cheese to top these delicious tacos with. Whichever way you like your Carne Asada Street tacos, they will be amazing!
