Grilled Steak Tacos with Guacamole
Grilled Steak Tacos with red onion, avocado, cilantro, and queso fresco are great for Taco Tuesday or any summer day!
Ingredients:
For Steak tacos :
- 2 lbs carne asada*
- 1 tablespoon cumin
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- 2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon cracked pepper
- 3 tablespoons canola oil
- 1 serrano pepper sliced
- ½ Roma tomato diced
- ½ white onion finely diced
- 6-8 oz. dos Equis beer
- 32 street taco tortillas
- ½ cup white onion diced, for garnish
- ½ cup cilantro roughly chopped, for garnish
For the Guacamole :
- 3 Avocados halved seeded and peeled
- 1/4 cup White Onion (finely diced)
- 1/4 cup Cilantro (diced and tightly packed)
- 1/4 Jalapeno (deseeded and finely diced)
- 2 Tablespoons Fresh Lime Juice (about 1-2 limes)
- 1 teaspoon salt (or more to taste)
- 1/4 teaspoon Garlic Powder
Directions :
- Mix together the cumin, salt, garlic powder, pepper, and coat the carne asada with it. Slice into strips, then dice. Add it to a large plastic bag or bowl with a cover, and mix the meat with the serrano pepper, tomato, onion, and beer. Allow to marinate for at least 15 minutes, but up to 1 hour.
- Heat a large skillet with the canola oil over medium-high heat, then pour in the entire marinated mixture and allow to cook, stirring occasionally, until all the liquid has evaporated and the meat is cooked through around 20 minutes.
- Serve in street taco corn tortillas and top with onion and cilantro.
For the Guacamole :
- Lightly mash avocados with a fork, leaving chunks, if so desired.
- Add diced onions, cilantro, jalapeno. Drizzle with fresh lime juice. Sprinkle on salt and garlic powder. Stir.
- Taste and add more salt as needed. I tend to like my guacamole with some flavor so I add a little extra salt.
Enjoy !!
