Carne Asada Street Tacos
Carne asada street tacos are a popular Mexican dish made with grilled or seared beef, typically skirt steak or flank steak, that has been marinated in a mixture of lime juice, garlic, and various spices such as cumin and chili powder. The steak is sliced thin and served on small corn tortillas topped with chopped onions, fresh cilantro, and a squeeze of fresh lime juice. Some variations may also include salsa, guacamole, or crumbled queso fresco cheese.
