AUTHENTIC BAJA-MEXICAN STREET TACOS (CARNE ASADA) RECIPE ...



Authentic Baja-Mexican Street Tacos (Carne Asada) Recipe ... image

On weekend getaways from San Diego to the beaches in Ensenada and Rosarito (Baja California), I found my favorite meal in the delicious soft skirt steak tacos sold by the taqueria street vendors. This recipe tastes exactly how I remember them - without having to make the trip across the border. Muy bueno! Top with some freshly squeezed lime juice and spicy salsa if you like.

Total Time 1 hours 35 minutes

Prep Time 20 minutes

Cook Time 15 minutes

Yield 16 tacos

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 cups fresh orange juice, or more as needed
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 pinch cayenne pepper
3 pounds trimmed skirt steaks
16 (6 inch) white corn tortillas, or as needed
1 white onion, chopped, or to taste
1 small bunch fresh cilantro, chopped, or to taste

Steps:

  • Combine orange juice, 2 tablespoons cilantro, lime juice, garlic, salt, pepper, cumin, and cayenne in a large freezer bag. Submerge skirt steaks in the marinade. Seal the bag, squeezing out as much air as possible. Refrigerate, 1 to 8 hours.
  • Preheat a grill to medium-high. Grill the steaks until hot and firm in the center or to your preferred doneness, 6 to 8 minutes per side. Transfer steaks to a flat work surface and slice as thinly as possible against the grain.
  • Heat corn tortillas on the grill or in a microwave. Keep tortillas warm in a folded sheet of aluminum foil covered by a thick towel.
  • Add steak to each tortilla and top with white onion and cilantro.

Prep Time 40 minutes

Cook Time 20 minutes

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

6 tomatoes, diced
1 small onion, diced
½ cup chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons canned diced jalapeno peppers, or more to taste (juice reserved)
½ teaspoon garlic salt
½ lime, juiced
3 cups coleslaw mix
3 tablespoons ranch dressing
2 cups vegetable oil for frying
1 (9 ounce) box batter mix (such as Shore Lunch®)
1 (12 fluid ounce) can or bottle Mexican beer
24 corn tortillas
1 pound cod fillets, cut into 2-inch chunks
2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend
2 limes, sliced into wedges
1 dash chile-garlic sauce (such as Sriracha®)

Steps:

  • Mix tomatoes, onion, cilantro, jalapeno peppers, 1 tablespoon juice from jalapeno peppers, and garlic salt in a bowl; squeeze 1/2 lime over salsa fresca. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate while preparing fish.
