Directions

Carne asada

Blend everything together except the beef, then pour the marinade over the beef. Marinate for 1 hour in the fridge.
Grill over hot coals until the desired temperature is reached. Let the meat rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Salsa roja

Grill the tomatoes, white onion, garlic, bullhorn pepper, and chillies on a hot cast-iron pan until well-charred on all sides.
Place all the grilled vegetables into a blender and blend until smooth. Season with salt and adjust the acidity with vinegar if needed.

Tacos Carne Asada

Warm your tortillas on a hot flat plate for 30 seconds on each side, then stack them in a clean towel so they continue to cook and steam through.
Serve your hot tortillas alongside the grilled carne asada, Salsa Roja, diced onion, chopped coriander, and lime wedges.
Let everyone serve themselves and enjoy!
