About this Recipe

Sink your teeth into the bold, smoky flavors of this Classic Carne Asada Tacos recipe – a true celebration of fire-grilled perfection. 

Pre-marinated in a zesty blend of citrus, garlic, and spices, the tender flank steak is seared to juicy, charred excellence, then sliced thin and tucked into warm, freshly grilled corn tortillas. Topped with crisp chopped onions, fragrant cilantro, and a squeeze of lime, every bite delivers a perfect balance of heat, tang, and savory depth.

Whether you’re feeding a crowd or satisfying a weeknight craving, these tacos bring the spirit of the street taco stand straight to your table.
