homemade flour tortillas really put these tacos over the top! recipe in the side bar
Spice rub:
1 Tablespoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon EACH - garlic powder, onion powder, kosher salt, black pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Mix in a small bowl.
juice of one lime
1 and 1/2 pounds carne asada steak (skirt steak, flank steak, flap steak)
Squeeze, or brush the lime on top of the meat. Sprinkle with the spice mixture. Let sit for a few minutes while you heat the grill, or a grill pan that has been brushed with olive oil. Grill, or broil the steaks for 3-5 minutes on each side, depending how thick the meat is. You know it's ready to turn when the meat starts to sweat all over. Turn and cook another 3-5 minutes. Let steak rest for 10-15 minutes, so the juices will remain when you cut into it.Thinly slice meat against the grain at a 45 degree angle.
Great with Chimichurri sauce drizzled on top.
For the tacos in the picture I garnished with chimichurri sauce, red onion, tomatoes and feta cheese - darn it! I forgot the avocado!
