CARNE ASADA LORENZA
For centuries, Sonoran carne asada tacos have traditionally been assembled in flour tortillas. However, the corn tortilla, salted and crisped on the same grill that cooks and seasons the meat, has been added to the mix, creating a crunchy open taco called the Carne Asada Lorenza. Not only is it a sight to behold, but it has become such a favorite that it's starting to rival the flour tortilla taco. Once the corn tortilla is seasoned and grilled, it is slathered with refried beans, mounted with copious amounts of melty cheese, and placed back on the grill for the cheese to ooze all over. The taco base becomes a sumptuous bed for the carne asada. Finish it with fire-roasted salsa and guacamole, and you will see what the Lorenza hype is all about.

Steps:
- Start a charcoal or gas grill, and get it very hot. For gas, set to high heat. For charcoal, grill is ready when coals are red but entirely covered with gray ash, and you can hold your hand about 5 to 6 inches above the coals for only about 4 to 5 seconds before it becomes too hot.
- Clean and season the grill: Using a pair of tongs, rub a quarter of a white onion over it. Next, rub the beef fat over the grill to season it further. (Alternately, you can do this using tallow or vegetable oil.)
- Working in batches if needed to avoid crowding, place the meat over the hot grill. Season the meat generously with salt on top right before throwing it on the grill, salt-side up. (Alternatively, sprinkle the salt on top of the meat once it's on the grill.)
- Grill for 4 to 5 minutes, until the bottom has seared, deep grill marks have developed, and the meat juices have started rising and bubbling over the top. Flip to the second side and grill for another 3 to 4 minutes for medium. Remove the meat and place in a lidded dish or container. Cover the cooked meat while you grill the remainder. Allow the meat to rest for at least 5 minutes.
- One by one, take out the pieces of meat and cut into about 1/2-inch dice, placing them back in the same lidded dish and covering until the meat has been chopped.
- If using gas, reduce the heat of the grill to medium. Brush the corn tortillas with water and sprinkle or rub with salt to taste on both sides. Place on the grill - if using charcoal, place them over indirect heat - and let them toast for about 2 to 3 minutes per side, depending on how hot the grill is, until lightly browned and crisped on both sides.
- Remove the crisp tortillas from the grill, slather each one with a couple tablespoons of refried beans on one side and cover the beans with 1/4 cup shredded cheese.
- Place them back on the grill, cheese-side up, and cook until cheese has completely melted and corn tortillas have browned darker and crisped further, about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the grill, place on a platter, top with a generous amount of diced meat and bring to the table. Let your guests top with salsa and guacamole to their liking.
CARNE ASADA TACOS
A celebrated Mexican street food, these steaks tacos are great to enjoy at home, but also perfect for tailgates and cookouts. Bring the bagged and marinating steak with you if you know there's a grill available (or grill ahead of time and wait to slice at your destination). And don't skip on doubling up on the tortillas -- these tacos are juicy so the extra tortilla ensures no tearing.

Steps:
- Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the cumin seed and cook, stirring occasionally, until toasted, about 1 minute. Transfer to a small bowl. Add the chilies and garlic to the skillet. Cook over medium high heat, turning occasionally, until both are soft and blotchy black in spots, about 5 minutes. Remove from the skillet and cool. Add the chilies, garlic, toasted cumin seeds, oil, brown sugar and lime juice, 1 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper to a blender and process until very smooth. Transfer the marinade to a large re-sealable plastic bag and add the steak. Shake well to coat, refrigerate for 1 to 4 hours.
- Prepare a grill for high heat.
- Remove the steaks from the marinade and shake off any excess. Brush the grill grates lightly with oil, lay the steak on the grill and cook until very well charred and grill marks appear, about 5 minutes. Turn the steaks and continue to cook until nicely charred, about 1 to 3 minutes more depending on thickness. Transfer the steaks to a cutting board and let rest for 10 minutes. While the steak rests, brush the scallions lightly with oil and grill, turning once until wilted and charred, about 2 minutes. Coarsely chop.
- Warm the tortillas on the grill grates. Thinly slice the steak against the grain on a bias. Double the tortillas then top with the steak, grilled scallions, guacamole and pico de gallo. Serve with lime wedges.
