Preparation
- In a large bowl, whisk together the orange juice, lime juice, soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, jalapeno (if using), chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, dried oregano, black pepper, and salt.
- Place your flank or skirt steak into a resealable bag and pour the freshly made marinade over it, ensuring the beef is fully coated. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.
- Preheat your grill to high heat or heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high. Remove the steak from the marinade, letting excess liquid drip off. Grill the steak for 3-5 minutes per side for medium-rare.
- Once cooked, transfer the steak to a cutting board and loosely cover it with foil. Allow it to rest for about 10 minutes.
- After resting, slice the steak thinly against the grain, aiming for strips that are about half an inch wide.
- While the steak rests, warm your corn or flour tortillas over an open flame or in a dry skillet until they become pliable.
- To assemble your Beef Carne Asada Tacos, place a few slices of the grilled steak onto each warm tortilla. Top with finely chopped onions, fresh cilantro, and slices of avocado. Add your favorite salsa for a burst of flavor.
- Serve your delicious Beef Carne Asada Tacos immediately with lime wedges on the side.
