‘Tacos de bistec’🌮 are a favourite of Mexicans throughout the entire country.
Most ‘taquerias’ will have them in their all-day menu.
I like to think☝️ that they key to this recipe is the marinade, which tenderises the meat.
I personally love the flavour when you combine your tacos with green salsa and the traditional onion, coriander and lime😍
How do you prepare your ‘carne asada’?

Tacos de bistec
The secret to this recipe is in the marinade. In Mexico, you will find that taqueros will use an off-cut from the beef and will tenderise it through the marinade and a very thin cut. This is one of my all- ime favourite tacos!
