How to Make Carne Asada Tacos

Choose the Cut of Beef

For this recipe, we recommend using flank steak or skirt steak. Flank steak is fairly lean, and it’s thicker and wider than skirt steak. Skirt steak has a rich, beefy flavor with a long and narrow shape. Both flank steak and skirt steak are excellent cuts of beef for carne asada tacos—just make sure to slice them against the grain after cooking. Slicing against the grain shortens the muscle fibers, making them tender and easier to chew.

Make the Marinade

The carne asada marinade consists of 5 simple ingredients: white vinegar, chili powder, extra-virgin olive oil, salt and garlic powder. Marinate the steak for at least 1 hour or up to 24 hours. The vinegar helps tenderize the steak, and the chili powder gives it a boost of spicy flavor.

Make the Salsa

The salsa can be prepared up to 2 hours ahead. Here are tips on how to dice tomatoes, how to cut an onion and how to cut an avocado.

How to Cook Carne Asada

Broiling the carne asada is a quick and easy method. Place the marinated steak on a rimmed baking sheet and broil for 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until preferred doneness. Use an instant-read thermometer to check the internal temperature of the steak. Here are more tips on how to check for doneness. You can also grill the carne asada over medium-high heat for 3 to 4 minutes per side.

Tip

Cotija cheese, also called queso añejo or queso añejado, is an aged Mexican cheese similar to Parmesan. Find it near other specialty cheeses or in Mexican grocery stores.

To warm tortillas, wrap in barely damp paper towels and microwave on High for 30 to 45 seconds, or wrap in foil and bake at 300°F until steaming, 5 to 10 minutes.
