Grilled Carne Asada for Tacos image

Carne asada means "grilled meat," which in turn can mean a lot. But skirt steak is what you most often see made into carne asada (and in some supermarkets, skirt steak is called carne asada). Because of its high fat content, it's perfect for tacos. Rub it with a few spices, grill it for a few minutes and pile it into tortillas with a couple of other ingredients. Dinner in a flash.
