Carne Asada Tacos are one of the best ways to serve grilled carne asada to a crowd! (Along with Carne Asada Burritos) Put the carne asada on the BBQ, warm the tortillas and serve all of the toppings family style for a fun and festive meal!
You have a house full of hungry people, a hot grill and ample skirt steak perfectly seasoned by Carne Asada marinade, aka MOJO. What’s next?
Carne Asada Tacos.
Grilled Carne Asada is perfectly delicious on it’s own, but dress it up in grilled corn tortillas and a bundle of colorful toppings and you’ve got a party!
How to Make Carne Asada Tacos
You’ll want to assemble your toppings ahead of time, including making Pico De Gallo at least 15 minutes before you plan to eat it. Grill the carne asada steak, let it rest and then thinly slice across the grain. Once you’ve sliced your steak, grill the tortillas – only about 30 seconds per side. Then serve everything up family-style letting guests create their perfect tacos. You may want to have a few pitchers of margaritas available too, I doubt anyone will mind. 🙂

Hi Marissa! This is exactly what i envisioned when I read your Carne Asada post! But, I forgot the margaritas! 🙂
I loved it that you said it on that last post, Dorothy! I thought, “She read my mind!”
This is pretty much my idea of a perfect meal, Marissa! How did you know??
Your photos are gorgeous – I love how you’ve NOT mashed up the avocado and rather placed it on top in big chunks. Yum!
Thank you, Helen! Yes, love big chunks of avocado. Even when I make guacamole, I still like to leave them pretty chunky. 🙂
