Mexican Street Tacos

Easy, quick, authentic carne asada street tacos you can now make right at home! Top with onion, cilantro fresh lime juice! SO GOOD!

You truly miss things once they are gone. That’s not just a saying. It’s real life.

I lived a block away from a famous taco truck back in LA. And as much as I loved street tacos, I only went there maybe four times a year.

And now that I’ve moved to Chicago, all I think about is the proximity of that taco truck back home in Los Angeles. If that taco truck were here in Chiberia, I would go four times a day!

But until I get back to LA, here is my rendition of my favorite street tacos.

It’s a quick recipe using a simple marinade for your skirt steak. It just needs 1 hour of marinating before you throw it onto a skillet. From there, you can top off your tacos with diced onion, cilantro and fresh lime juice.

It’s simple, it’s easy and it’s just perfect.
