Carne Asada Street Tacos
These street tacos are simple and savory. No reason to hide under a ton of toppings. They go well with refried beans and Mexican rice.
If you want pans that heat evenly and clean easily, this is the newer Ninja set I recommend.

Ingredients
- 1 lb flank steak
- 6 street taco tortillas
Marinade
- ½ cup lemon juice
- ¼ cup olive oil
- ¼ cup Worcestershire sauce
- ½ bunch cilantro
- ½ small onion (diced)
- 2 cloves garlic (smashed)
- 1 Tbs salt
- 1 Tbs black pepper
- 1 Tbs cumin
- 2 tsp oregano
- 1 tsp coriander
Suggested toppings
- Cilantro leaves

Directions
- Mix marinade ingredients in a container just big enough to hold the meat.
- Submerge meat in marinade for 6 to 8 hours, stirring if necessary so that all meat has been in the marinade.
- Heat a grill pan or iron skillet to medium heat.
- Wipe off excess marinade and add steak to the pan. Cook 3 to 5 minutes per side or until internal temperature is 130°F. This is a rare temperature, but the steak will get chewy if it is cooked any longer.
- Let rest 5 minutes. Cut steak across the grain on the bias.
- These are street tacos, so fill sparingly with meat and toppings.
