Carne Asada Tacos
Prep 15 min Cook 10 min Serves 4 Source

Ingredients

  • ½ batch Carne Asada
  • 2 avocados (or swap Guacamole)
  • 1 lime (divided, plus additional wedges for serving)
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt (omit if using guacamole)
  • Finely chopped white onions
  • Chopped fresh cilantro
  • Queso fresco or crumbled feta
  • Flour or corn tortillas
  • Optional additional toppings

Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Carne Asada according to recipe instructions (heads up! It needs to marinate for 4 hours prior to cooking). Once it has rested at least 10 minutes, thinly slice it across the grain, then dice into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 2

    Just before serving, scoop the avocados into a bowl. Juice in 1/2 the lime (cut the remaining half into wedges for serving) and add the salt. With a fork, roughly mashed to combine (if you are using Homemade Guacamole, skip this step). Taste and adjust the seasoning as desired.

  3. 3

    Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet, or by blistering over a gas stove. For each taco, spread a tortilla with a scoop of the avocado, then top with the asada.

  4. 4

    Add the onion, cheese, and any additional desired toppings. Enjoy immediately
