Carne Asada
The dish is commonly prepared in the northern and western parts of Mexico and in the American Southwest. Carne asada means ‘roasted beef’ but in reality it’s cooked on a grill. Before grilling, the meat is marinated in an olive oil with salt, lime juice, garlic powder and pepper. It’s best to use flank steak or thin pieces of meat. The finished meat is usually used in tacos, burritos, quesadillas, served with fresh guacamole, grilled onions, pico de gallo, black beans and fresh salsa.
