Equipment
  • 1 large bowl
  • 1 Skillet
  • 1 sharp knife
Ingredients
  
  • 2 lbs Raw meat preferably flap meat, skirt steak, or flank steak
  • Olive oil or cooking oil
  • 2 cups Mojo Criollo a mix of garlic, citrus juice, and spices for marinating
  • Warm corn tortillas
  • Hot sauce optional
  • garlic, cilantro, orange juice, lime juice, salt, black pepper, vinegar, cumin, and chile powder optional to taste
Instructions
 
  • Marinate the meat: Combine the marinade ingredients in a large bowl or resealable plastic bag.
    Add the raw meat and mix well to coat evenly.
    Seal or cover and let it marinate for at least 2 hours in the refrigerator.
    This process will ensure maximum flavor in your taco filling.
  • Preheat the grill or skillet: While the meat is marinating, preheat your grill or skillet to medium-high heat.
    If using a skillet, add a small amount of olive oil or cooking oil to coat the surface.
  • Cook the meat: Remove the marinated meat from the refrigerator and allow it to come to room temperature.
    Place the meat on the grill or skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side or until the desired level of doneness is reached.
    The heat should be high enough to create a nice char on the meat but not burn it.
    Once done, let the carne asada rest on a cutting board for a few minutes.
  • Slice the meat: Using a sharp knife, slice the rested carne asada thinly against the grain.
    This will result in tender and flavorful bite-sized pieces perfect for your taco filling.
    Warm the corn tortillas: On a skillet or griddle over medium heat, warm the corn tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side.
    This will make them pliable and enhance their flavor.
  • Assemble the tacos: Place a generous amount of sliced carne asada on each warm corn tortilla.
    Add your preferred toppings, such as hot sauce or guacamole, for a complete King Taco Carne Asada experience.
    With this step-by-step process, you can enjoy a delicious, authentic King Taco Carne Asada right in the comfort of your own home.
