Tex-Mex Tacos al Carbon Recipe
Use marinated steak, skirt steak or flank steak (my fave) for these grilled beef tacos. Serve with warm flour or corn tortillas.
If you like beef well-done, spring for rib-eye, as flank and skirt steak will toughen.
Suggested Condiments:
grilled scallions
sour cream
guacamole
pico de gallo
shredded lettuce
shredded cheese
salsa
lime slices
You can use this grilled beef for taco salad, enchiladas, quesadillas, etc.
