Carne Asada Tacos

Recipe from Carlsbad Cravings.

Ingredients:

Spice Mix:

• 1 TBSP ground cumin
• 1 TBSP garlic powder
• 2 tsp. smoked paprika
• 2 tsp. chili powder
• 1 tsp. salt
• 1 tsp. onion powder
• 1 tsp. ground coriander
• 1/2 tsp. pepper
• 1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper

Marinade:

• 1/4 c. soy sauce
• 1/4 c. orange juice
• 2 TBSP lime juice
• 2 TBSP olive oil
• 1 TBSP brown sugar
• 1 tsp. liquid smoke
• 1 ½ – 2 lbs. flank steak pounded to an even thin thickness

Directions:

1. Add Spice Mix seasonings to a sealable container; whisk and set aside.
2. Add all Marinade Ingredients – soy sauce through liquid smoke – to a large freezer bag and whisk to combine. Add 3 TBSP Spice Mix to Marinade and whisk to combine. Add steak, squeeze out excess air, seal and turn to evenly coat. Marinate in the refrigerator 4-12 hours (the longer the better).
3. When ready to grill, mix remaining Spice Mix with 2 TBSP olive oil to create a wet Spice Rub.
4. Discard marinade and pat steaks dry with paper towel. Rub steak evenly all over with Spice Rub and let rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
5. Grill steak.
6. Remove steak and let rest 10 minutes before chopping into small pieces.
