CALLE TACOS (STREET TACOS)



Calle Tacos (Street Tacos) image

I've eaten street tacos in Southern California, New Mexico, and in Mexico; the one thing that I've discovered is that there is no such thing as a "traditional" street taco. Each vendor will add his or her own "special" touches to the dish, and make it their own personal culinary creation. There are, however, a few things that characterize a good street taco: they are all about the meat (not the toppings), and they are usually served on a freshly made flour tortilla... Sorry Taco Bell. Serve it up with an excellent margarita, and I'm in heaven.

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound(s) flank steak
2 clove(s) garlic, minced
4 tablespoon(s) fresh cilantro, finely chopped
1/4 cup(s) olive oil, extra virgin
1 medium lime, just the juice
1 teaspoon(s) salt, kosher variety
1 teaspoon(s) black pepper, freshly ground
1 teaspoon(s) ground cumin
- cotija cheese (or other cheese of your choice), optional
- pica de gallo, or salsa (optional)

Steps:

  • Gather your ingredients
  • Mix all the ingredients for the marinade in a bowl or large ziplock bag.
  • Add the flank steak, coat completely, and then place in the refrigerator overnight.
  • Chef's Tip: Marinades need time to work their magic. While you're sleeping the ingredients are getting acquainted.
  • Chef's Note: I'm using flank steak, but street tacos can be fish, chicken, pork, shrimp.. and you are still using the same marinade. However, if you're using seafood, then only marinate for 1 hour.
  • Remove the steak from the marinade.
  • Place a pan over high heat.
  • Add oil to the pan.
  • Place the flank steak into the pan.
  • Cook 5 to 7 minutes on one side, and then repeat for the second side.
  • Remove to a cutting board, and allow it to rest for 6 to 8 minutes.
  • Slice into thin strips, across the grain.
  • Roughly chop the strips into bite sized pieces.
  • Add the meat to a freshly made (warm) flour tortilla.
  • Add a bit of pica de gallo, or salsa, and a bit of cheese. Enjoy.
  • Keep the faith, and keep cooking.

AUTHENTIC BAJA-MEXICAN STREET TACOS (CARNE ASADA)



Authentic Baja-Mexican Street Tacos (Carne Asada) image

On weekend getaways from San Diego to the beaches in Ensenada and Rosarito (Baja California), I found my favorite meal in the delicious soft skirt steak tacos sold by the taqueria street vendors. This recipe tastes exactly how I remember them - without having to make the trip across the border. Muy bueno! Top with some freshly squeezed lime juice and spicy salsa if you like.

3 cups fresh orange juice, or more as needed
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 pinch cayenne pepper
3 pounds trimmed skirt steaks
16 (6 inch) white corn tortillas, or as needed
1 white onion, chopped, or to taste
1 small bunch fresh cilantro, chopped, or to taste

Steps:

  • Combine orange juice, 2 tablespoons cilantro, lime juice, garlic, salt, pepper, cumin, and cayenne in a large freezer bag. Submerge skirt steaks in the marinade. Seal the bag, squeezing out as much air as possible. Refrigerate, 1 to 8 hours.

  • Add steak to each tortilla and top with white onion and cilantro.
