Soft Beef Tacos (Carne Asada)

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Soft beef tacos is beef tacos that with a soft tortilla. Soft tacos are definitely a winner, as far as I am concerned. The best soft taco that I had was the Taco Asada. Instead of using ground meat, carne asada or seasoned grilled steak is employed.

This beef tacos recipe is pretty much similar to Taco Asada; the only difference is the method applied in cooking the steak. Instead of grilling, I fried the steak in olive oil. I selected this method because I want the meat to quickly absorb the marinade. I did that by chopping the steak before marinating – grilling chopped steak would be quite a challenge.
