Carne Asada Tacos with Cabbage Slaw

Carne Asada Tacos with Cabbage Slaw

By Brittanie Peterson

Total: 45 minutes
MexicanDinnerMain Course

Ingredients

  • 1 pound Flank steak or skirt steak
  • 12 pieces Corn tortillas
  • 2 pieces Lime
  • 1/4 cup Fresh cilantro
  • 1 medium Onion
  • 2 cups Cabbage slaw
  • 2 pieces Avocado or guacamole
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil
  • 2 cloves Garlic
  • 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
  • 1 teaspoon Chili powder

Instructions

1

In a small bowl, mix together 2 cloves of minced garlic, juice of 1 lime, 1 teaspoon of cumin powder, 1 teaspoon of chili powder, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of black pepper to create the marinade.

2

Place the flank steak or skirt steak in a resealable bag or a shallow dish, and pour the marinade over the steak. Make sure the steak is well coated. Marinate for at least 20 minutes at room temperature.

3

While the steak is marinating, finely chop the fresh cilantro and dice the onion. Set aside for taco toppings.

4

Prepare the cabbage slaw by squeezing the juice of the second lime over the 2 cups of cabbage, adding salt to taste, and mixing well. Set aside.

5

Heat a large grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat and brush with olive oil. Once hot, add the marinated steak and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until desired doneness. Remove from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes.

6

While the steak is resting, heat the corn tortillas by placing them on the grill for about 30 seconds on each side until warm and slightly charred.

7

Slice the steak thinly against the grain.

8

Assemble the tacos by placing slices of steak onto each tortilla, followed by a spoonful of cabbage slaw, a sprinkle of chopped cilantro, diced onions, and slices of avocado or a dollop of guacamole.

9

Serve immediately with additional lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the tacos.
