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.

TRADITIONAL MEXICAN CARNE ASADA WITH FRESH SALSA
An excellent Mexican tradition, excellent for groups, or even just for two. The best way to cook the beef is with a standard charcoal grill, but gas works too. Prep and Cook time vary, but usually you can start the charcoal at the beginning of prep and it will be hot by the time you're ready. TIP: Have the butcher thin slice the roast for you if not already thin sliced, it's much easier and saves a lot of prep time. In place of the spices listed, you may also use Carne Asada Seasoning, or even Season Salt like Johnny's or Lowery's.

- Combine diced tomatoes, diced jalapeños, diced onions, remaining cilantro and 1/4 cup lime juice. Salt and Pepper to taste.
- When the grill is nice and hot, use a meat fork pushed into a half of an onion to wipe down the grill surface.
- Evenly spread out the sliced beef over the surface of the grill. With long metal tongs, carefully watch the beef and turn it as needed to cook evenly. Carefully test the meat for doneness by tearing the meat. When it pulls apart easily, it's done.
- Heat a some corn tortillas in the microwave for a few seconds between moistened paper towel or lightly steam on the stove.
- Pull cooked beef into strips and lay in the middle of a tortilla, add a spoonful of salsa mixture, and a bit of fresh lime juice. Enjoy!
