Christina's Notes

  • Herbs: I love to top these tacos with additional fresh herbs, such as cilantro, oregano, parsley, or thyme. Additionally, a squeeze of fresh lime is also great.
  • Steak Bites: Cut the steak into smaller pieces before adding it to the tacos. Small pieces will change up the texture, making these tacos quick and tasty.
  • Taco Topping Ideas: These grilled carne asado tacos are perfect with diced onion and cilantro, Mexican rice, diced tomatoes, and all your favorite toppings.
  • Make with Other Meat: Ground beef, sirloin steak, pork, or chicken will also work in these tacos.
  • Season: Add salt, pepper, or chili powder to your personal taste.
