GRILLED CARNE ASADA FOR TACOS
Carne asada means "grilled meat," which in turn can mean a lot. But skirt steak is what you most often see made into carne asada (and in some supermarkets, skirt steak is called carne asada). Because of its high fat content, it's perfect for tacos. Rub it with a few spices, grill it for a few minutes and pile it into tortillas with a couple of other ingredients. Dinner in a flash.

Steps:
- Lay the flank steak in a large baking dish and pour the mojo over it. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour or up to 8 hours, so the flavors can sink into the meat. Don't marinate the steak for more than 8 hours though, or the fibers break down too much and the meat gets mushy.
- Preheat an outdoor grill or a ridged grill pan over medium-high flame (you can also use a broiler). Brush the grates with a little oil to prevent the meat from sticking. Pull the steak out of the mojo marinade and season the steak on both sides with salt and pepper. Grill (or broil) the steak for 7 to 10 minutes per side, turning once, until medium-rare. Remove the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to settle. Thinly slice the steak across the grain on a diagonal.
- Warm the tortillas for 30 seconds on each side in a dry skillet or on the grill, until toasty and pliable.
- To make the tacos, stack up 2 of the warm tortillas, lay about 4 ounces of beef down the center, and sprinkle with some lettuce, onion, and cheese. Top each taco with a spoonful of the Pico de Gallo salsa and garnish with lime wedges. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
- In a mortar and pestle or bowl, mash together the garlic, jalapeno, cilantro, salt, and pepper to make a paste. Put the paste in a glass jar or plastic container. Add the lime juice, orange juice, vinegar, and oil. Shake it up really well to combine. Use as a marinade for chicken or beef or as a table condiment.
- Yield: approximately 1 1/4 cups
- In a mixing bowl, combine all ingredients together. Toss thoroughly. Let it sit for 15 minutes hour to allow the flavors to marry.
- Yield: 2 cups
TACOS CARNE ASADA (GRILLED MEAT)
A recipe posted in the Longmont Times Call by Alicia Tun for traditional Tacos de Carne Asada. She sells them at Longmont's Cinco de Mayo event as a fundraiser for St. Francis of Assisi Roman Catholic Church and they are delicious. I watched them make these today and although the recipe calls for 1 corn tortilla each of their tacos had two small ones. Also, they grilled the slices of steak and then chopped them into small bite-sized pieces. Last year she sold over 1,600 of these and for a small(ish) town with lots of food vendors at Cinco de Mayo that is quite a testament to how good these are!! Prep time includes Marinade time.

Steps:
- Carne Asada: Mix ingredients for marinade and add the meat. Place all ingredients in a plastic container in the refrigerator for at least two hours. Fry the meat in pan or, for best flavor, fry on an outdoor grill until brown. Set aside until assembling the tacos. (in the end this meat should be chopped into bite sized pieces).
- Salsa verde (green chile):Bring large pot of water to boil. Add jalapeños and tomatillos and boil for ten minutes. Remove the seeds from the jalapeños. Put the tomatillos and jalapenos in a food processor with the salt and blend until fine. Pour into a bowl and chill.
- Chop together cilantro and onions and set aside in a separate bowl.
- Assembly:Warm corn tortilla about a minute on each side directly on an electric stove or place in a pan and heat. Place one tortilla on plate (when they served them at Cinco de Mayo there were 2 tortillas per taco). Add three spoonfuls of carne asada, one spoonful of cilantro and onion, and one spoonful of chili verde. Squeeze lime over taco to taste.
- If you have family members like mine who can't tolerate raw onion, just chop the onion and cilantro and keep them in separate bowls for people to add as desired.

CARNE ASADA (GRILLED STEAK)
Carne asada, or grilled meat, is great backyard grill food. It is enjoyed throughout Central America and Mexico. Many recipes get very elaborate with the marinade ingredients, but the original recipe relies on a simple combination of onions and citrus juice to highlight the flavor of the beef. The ingredient measurements are pretty vague, but it lets you make it according to your own taste. Personally, I would use the maximum amounts of everything. Enjoy!

Steps:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the oil, vinegar, lime juice, orange juice, garlic, jalapeño, chopped cilantro, salt, coriander, cumin, pepper, and chili powder.
- Place the steak in a gallon-size resealable bag. Pour in 1 cup (240 ml) of the marinade and set the rest aside. Seal the bag and shake to evenly coat the steak in the marinade. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 4 hours.
- In a small saucepan, bring the reserved ½ cup (120 ml) of marinade to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook until thickened and reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
- Heat a large grill pan over high heat until very hot. Remove the steak from the bag and discard the marinade. Cook the steak on 1 side until there are dark grill marks and it is beginning to caramelize around the edges, about 6 minutes. Flip and cook on the other side for 5 minutes for medium rare, or 7 minutes for medium. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes.
- Working in batches, heat the corn tortillas in a pan over medium-high heat, turning with tongs, until softened and just beginning to brown in spots, about 1 minute per side. Wrap the toasted tortillas in foil to keep warm.
- Thinly slice the steak against the grain, then cut the slices in half. Transfer to a large bowl and toss with the reduced marinade to coat.
- Serve the steak with the warm tortillas, pico de gallo, guacamole, sour cream, cotija cheese, and cilantro leaves, if desired.
- Enjoy!
