Carne Asada :)

This is all going to be worth it in less than 2 hours :)

Good thing I had a cute helper

Carne Asada Tacos:

Meat Marinade:

"Mojo Sauce" (food network)

• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 jalapeno, minced
• 1 large handful fresh cilantro leaves, finely chopped
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 2 limes, juiced
• 1 orange, juiced
• 2 tablespoons white vinegar
• 1/2 cup olive oil

My directions:

Add all ingredients to a blender, way faster than using a mortar and pestle :)

Tacos:

1.5 lb- 2lb thinly slice sirloin steak (I buy whatever is cheapest other than chuck steak), marinated the steak 1-6 hours in the "mojo sauce"

- I dice the meat because it marinates better and cooks faster

Cooking:

Cook the meat until desired done-ness on the the stove and then serve in pan warmed corn tortillas (I like to spray them with Pam to make them crispy)

Garnishes: 

Guacamole, cilantro, white onions minced, lime wedges, salsa of your choice
