Authentic Baja-Mexican Street Tacos (Carne Asada) image

On weekend getaways from San Diego to the beaches in Ensenada and Rosarito (Baja California), I found my favorite meal in the delicious soft skirt steak tacos sold by the taqueria street vendors. This recipe tastes exactly how I remember them - without having to make the trip across the border. Muy bueno! Top with some freshly squeezed lime juice and spicy salsa if you like.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of steak: Flank steak or skirt steak are great options for tacos as they are flavorful and tender when cooked properly.
  • Marinate the steak: Marinating the steak in a flavorful mixture of spices and herbs will help tenderize the meat and add flavor.
  • Cook the steak over high heat: This will help create a nice crust on the outside while keeping the inside juicy and tender.
  • Slice the steak against the grain: This will make the steak more tender and easier to chew.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the tacos will taste.
  • Don't overload the tacos: Too many fillings will make the tacos difficult to eat and messy.
  • Serve the tacos immediately: Tacos are best enjoyed fresh and hot off the grill.
