AuthorHeather WallaceCategorytacOsDifficultyBeginnerIt's Taco Tuesday and have I got a taco recipe for you!! My Carne Asada Tacos are full of flavor and super simple with only 1 hour of marinating.
I love tacos but I crave variety and these deliver!! No need for a restaurant reservation, the next time you want a killer taco...just whip this recipe up and you'll be sure to make it again and again.
It takes just a few ingredients that you probably already have in your pantry and no cheese is needed...they are that flavorful.
Paired with my delicious and <a href="https://sugarboogersweets.com/creamy-guacamole/" target="blank">creamy guacamole</a> recipe the steak is perfect for tacos, nachos, burritos, or even salads.
Dinner is served!
In a medium-sized bowl, combine 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice, 3 cloves of minced garlic, 2 teaspoons of chili powder, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon cumin.
Cut 1 1/2 lbs top sirloin filet steak (flank or skirt steak will also work well) into 1/2-inch pieces.
Combine soy sauce mixture and steak; marinate for 60 Minutes.
Heat 1 tablespoon of avocado oil (or canola oil) in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add steak and marinade, cook stirring often until steak is browned and the marinade has reduced, about 5 Minutes to 6 Minutes or until the desired doneness.
Remove steak from pan and let rest in a bowl until ready to serve.
While the steak is cooking chop 3/4 cup of white onion, and 1/2 cup of roughly chopped cilantro.
Mash 2 avocados in a medium-sized bowl.
Add 2 tablespoons of freshly squeezed lime juice to keep the avocados from browning.
Add 1 tablespoon of chicken base (I use Better Than Bouillon Chicken Base), 1/4 cup mayonnaise (I like Hellmann’s), 1/4 cup chopped red onion, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro, and 1 tablespoon of either jarred jalapeno slices chopped or fresh jalapeno. I used a jar of hot jalapenos I had in the fridge.
Stir until combined and creamy, set aside.
