Photo: Beef Tacos: Tacos de Carne Asada Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 flank steak, trimmed of excess fat
- 1 cup pickled jalapenos, including the carrots and onions that come in the jar
- Salt and pepper
- 8 corn tortillas
- 1/4 cup white onion, coarsely chopped
- 1/4 cup cilantro leaves
- 2 tablespoons salsa de arbol
- 1 tablespoon canola oil, plus more, as needed
Directions
Cover flank steak on one side with the pickled jalapenos, then turn over let sit at room temperature, covered for 1 hour.
Preheat the grill or broiler.
Season both sides of the steak with salt and pepper and place on a hot grill or under the broiler. Cook the steak for 5 to 6 minutes on each side (for medium rare), and then chop into 1/4-inch pieces.
Heat a small saute pan and add 1 tablespoon canola oil. Warm corn tortillas for 30 seconds on each side, adding more oil as necessary. Stack 2 tortillas together, place the meat in the center of the tortillas and top with the onion and cilantro. Drizzle a teaspoon of the salsa de arbol on top of each taco.

This simple, but flavorful recipe for carne asada tacos has become a staple in our home. To prepare the steak couldn't be easier, but the flavor is outstanding. I slice the jalapenos in order to more evenly distribute their flavor over the meat's surface. The method for heating the tortillas gives them a crisp-tender texture and really brings out the flavor of the tortillas. We like to use the thickest corn tortillas available; homemade from a Mexican deli-market rather than doubling the tortillas per the traditional recipe.
