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.
