Carne Asada Tacos Recipe

🧂 Ingredients

• 1-2 serrano peppers

  minced (or use jalapeno peppers for a milder version)
• 4 cloves garlic

  minced
• ¼ - ½ cup chopped cilantro
• ¼ cup olive oil
• 2 tablespoons chili oil
• Juice from 2 large oranges

  about a ¾ cup
• Juice from 2 limes
• 3 tablespoons white wine vinegar

  apple cider vinegar is good, too
• 1 tablespoon ancho powder

  optional, but I LOVE it
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• ½ teaspoon sea salt
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• 2 pounds skirt or flank steak
• 12 corn tortillas

  warmed
• Roasted jalapeno peppers
• Diced tomato
• Diced avocado
• Fresh chopped cilantro
• Spicy chili flakes
• Your favorite hot sauce

Instructions

• 1 Whisk together the serrano peppers, garlic, cilantro, olive oil, chili oil,
  orange juice, lime juice, vinegar, ancho powder, cumin and salt and pepper in a
  medium sized bowl until well combined. (Alternatively, you can process the
  ingredients in a food processor or blender until smooth.)
• 2 To use the marinade, add it to a large sealable bag with the steak and rub it
  thoroughly into the meat. Seal and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or
  overnight for more flavor penetration.
• 3 Discard the marinade, then grill the marinated steak on the grill for 8-10
  minutes per side, or until cooked to your liking. 135 degrees F is medium-rare.
  Let the steak rest for 10 minutes, then slice it against the grain into
  bite-sized pieces.
• 4 Serve the steak onto warmed tortillas and top with your favorite taco toppings -
  I'm using roasted jalapeno, avocado, tomato, cilantro, chili flakes and hot
  sauce.
