Carne Asada tacos. Very easy entertaining recipe. If you can wield a food processor and a set of tongs, you are set. I always kick off the summer camping season by doing these over the campfire. The nice thing about this recipe is that you can do most everything beforehand, leaving you time to quaff a few with your buddies. Perfect for tailgating or camping where people stand while they eat.

Ready in: 1 day 1 hour 20 mins

Ingredients

Serves: 6

• 2 med white onions
• 3 fresh jalapenos
• 2 bunches fresh cilantro
• 1 (4 ounce) jar chopped garlic
• 3/4 cup lime juice
• 1/2 cup olive oil
• 1 tablespoon salt
• 2 pounds flank steak or skirt steak
• 3 tomatoes
• 4 avocados
• 2 cups Mexican mix grated cheese
• 10 flour tortillas

Preparation method

Prep: 1 hour | Cook: 20 mins | Extra time: 1 day, marinating

1. For the marinade, chop 1 onion, 2 jalapenos, and 1 bunch cilantro in a food processor. Add 1/2 cup lime juice, olive oil, about 3/4 jar garlic, and salt. Mix together and pour into a plastic resealable bag with steak. Marinade flank steak overnight; maybe 6-8 hours for skirt steak.
2. Heat grill to High. Lightly oil grate.
3. To make the salsa, dice tomatoes and 1/2 onion, chop 1/2 bunch cilantro, 1 teaspoon garlic, and fresh jalapeno (deseed and cut out the membrane for less heat). Mix together.
4. Next, make the guacamole by mashing avocados. Then chop other 1/2 onion and 1/2 bunch cilantro and add 1/4 cup lime juice, 1 teaspoon garlic, and salt to taste.
5. Grill flank steak until medium or so. Grill the tortillas momentarily to warm them up. Cut the flank steak into 3 inch strips with the grain, and then cut off pieces against the grain.
6. Line up tortillas, steak, bowls of salsa, guac, and cheese. Have a bag of tortilla chips to take care of the leftover salsa and guac.
