Juicy carne asada tucked into blistered tortillas and topped with creamy guacamole, tangy pickled onions, Cotija cheese, crisp radishes, and fresh lime.

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds carne asada
  • 2 cups guacamole
  • 1/2 cup pickled onions
  • 1/2 cup crumbled Cotija cheese
  • 4 to 6 radishes, thinly sliced
  • 2 limes, cut into wedges
  • 12 (6-inch) corn or flour tortillas, blistered
  • Additional toppings (optional): chopped fresh cilantro, diced white onion, salsa verde, shredded cabbage, sour cream, sliced jalapeños, hot sauce

Instructions

  1. Prepare the carne asada according to your preferred carne asada recipe, then allow the cooked steak to rest.
  2. While the steak rests, blister the tortillas. Place each tortilla directly over a low flame or in a skillet over high heat until warmed through with lightly charred spots. Cooking time will vary depending on the heat source.
  3. Slice the rested steak thinly against the grain, then chop it into bite-sized pieces.
  4. Fill each blistered tortilla with carne asada and top with guacamole, pickled onions, Cotija cheese, and sliced radishes. Finish with a squeeze of fresh lime and any additional toppings desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Slicing the carne asada against the grain helps keep each bite tender.
  • Corn or flour tortillas both work well; blister them just before assembling for the best texture.
  • Optional toppings include fresh cilantro, diced white onion, salsa verde, shredded cabbage, sour cream, sliced jalapeños, or hot sauce.
  • Serve the tacos immediately with extra lime wedges and salsa on the side.
