Summer time is Carne Asada Taco Time

Carne Asada is a cut of meat at the grocery store or butcher/meat shop. It is a thin slice of steak basically. The trick is, it can't be too thin or too thick. The second trick is to not let me cook it, but let my husband. He is really good at this, and me, well, I am not!!!

There is a seasoning that we put on the carne asada that we find in the spice section of the grocer, and also in the international food section at times.



While my husband is hard at work at the bbq, I fry the corn tortillas for the shells of our tacos. It does not take too long. I put them on a paper towel to drain off the oil. The grease splatters at times so make sure that there are no children around.


When the meat is done from the bbq, I slice it into thin slices and make it into tacos. I slice of meat will generally make two or three tacos, so it goes a long way. These are perfect my daughter tells me, except there were no olives, as she is my olive girl. OOOPS! Hope you try these as they are quick, easy and tasty. No recipe needed, just fill them with what you would like. If you haven't had carne esada before, you are in for a treat.
