Directions
Taqueria Style Tacos – Carne Asada,This is a great recipe for authentic Mexican taqueria style carne asada tacos (beef tacos). These are served on soft corn tortillas.,What kind of dried red chile pods are used,I cant believe how many people thought this was easy. I started prep at 1:15 and served at 6:15. Probably took an hour worth of breaks so a total of 4 hours to make. I followed the directions for the salsa exactly but found it to be one note bland. I added a can of diced tomatoes to beef up the tomato flavor as I had used all my fresh tomatoes and the salsa had zero tomato flavor. I added more salt (more than a pinch) and I added cilantro. Better but still not right. I pulled up an easy, tasty salsa recipe I have and it uses just a small amount of cumin, garlic salt and sugar so I am going to try to rescue the leftovers with those additions. Not worth all the effort.
