AUTHENTIC BAJA-MEXICAN STREET TACOS (CARNE ASADA)
On weekend getaways from San Diego to the beaches in Ensenada and Rosarito (Baja California), I found my favorite meal in the delicious soft skirt steak tacos sold by the taqueria street vendors. This recipe tastes exactly how I remember them - without having to make the trip across the border. Muy bueno! Top with some freshly squeezed lime juice and spicy salsa if you like.

Steps:
- Combine orange juice, 2 tablespoons cilantro, lime juice, garlic, salt, pepper, cumin, and cayenne in a large freezer bag. Submerge skirt steaks in the marinade. Seal the bag, squeezing out as much air as possible. Refrigerate, 1 to 8 hours.
- Preheat a grill to medium-high. Grill the steaks until hot and firm in the center or to your preferred doneness, 6 to 8 minutes per side. Transfer steaks to a flat work surface and slice as thinly as possible against the grain.
- Heat corn tortillas on the grill or in a microwave. Keep tortillas warm in a folded sheet of aluminum foil covered by a thick towel.
- Add steak to each tortilla and top with white onion and cilantro.

THE BEST CARNE ASADA I HAVE EVER HAD
First I marinate this tender meat until the flavor is locked into each particle of the beef. Then I grill it to perfection and serve it with a fresh Recipe #159235. Definitely a good recipe for those summer BBQ's!

Steps:
- I wash the meat and dry it carefully, then in a bowl combine all ingredients. Mix carefully with your hands to make sure all of the meat is thoroughly coated.
- Refrigerate the meat all night or at least for 4 hours to get the best flavor. Then grill the meat on a medium low grill.
- I always put the cilantro and onion slices on top of the meat while it is grilling to give it extra flavor and then serve the onions and cilantros with the meat.
- I always enjoy a fresh margarita or two while they are cooking and while I am eating! You can also squirt a little lime juice on the meat while it is cooking.

Steps:
- Make the guacamole: scoop the avocado flesh into a bowl; add the remaining guacamole ingredients; stir with a fork until combined.

- Let each person make their own fajita by placing the fillings down the center of each tortilla and adding Tabasco to taste; wrap and serve warm.
