Instructions:

Preheat Grill: Fire up your grill to get it nice and hot, preparing it for the delicious carne asada.
-
-
Season Steak: Sprinkle lime juice over the steak, ensuring both sides are coated evenly. Season generously with sea salt and ground black pepper, enhancing the flavors.
-
Grease Grill Rack: Before placing the steak on the grill, grease the rack with a touch of olive oil to prevent sticking and add extra flavor.
-
Grill Carne Asada: Place the seasoned steak on the grill and let it sizzle away until your desired level of doneness is achieved. This typically takes a few minutes per side depending on the thickness of the steak and your preferred doneness.
-
Let it Rest: Once the steak is grilled to perfection, transfer it to a cutting board and let it rest for a few minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a tender and juicy result.
-
Slice Thinly: Using a sharp knife, thinly slice the carne asada across the grain. This ensures a tender bite with each mouthful.
-
Warm Tortillas: Quickly warm the tortillas on the grill, about 5 seconds per side, until they are soft and pliable. This step adds a delicious warmth and enhances the flavor of the tacos.
-
Assemble Tacos: Place a generous portion of sliced carne asada onto each warm tortilla. Top with chunky salsa, sliced avocados, diced onion, and fresh cilantro. Feel free to add additional toppings according to your taste preferences, such as jalapenos, pepperoncinis, tomato, or spinach/lettuce.
