Instructions
Preparation
- Gather your ingredients and kitchen tools, including a grill or air fryer.
- Take the carne asada out of the fridge and let it rest at room temperature for about 10 minutes.
- Finely dice the onions and chop the cilantro. Slice the avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh.
Cooking
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 375°F or 190°C).
- Season both sides of the carne asada with your preferred spices.
- Grill the carne asada for about 6–8 minutes, flipping halfway through, until it reaches medium-rare.
- Let the beef rest for 5 minutes before slicing it against the grain into thin strips.
- Warm the tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds on each side.
Serving
- Arrange sliced carne asada on warm tortillas.
- Add diced onion, crumbled cotija cheese, and chopped cilantro over the beef.
- Top with avocado slices and a squeeze of fresh lime juice.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
For best results, let the carne asada marinate for a couple of hours. Store leftovers in separate containers for fresh leftovers. Can be made gluten-free with corn tortillas.
