DINNER AT HOME

Picked up the Calle Sabor Carne Asada at Sam's Club for around $14.  Nice cuts of beef and pretty good marinade but we think the Baily's Carne Asada has a bit better flavor.  This was good though and I would not hesitate to buy it again.  The key to a great Carne Asada Taco (and ours are just as good as any restaurant in Honolulu) is fresh Guacamole and Pico de Gallo.  Plus a really good Salsa or Hot Sauce and fresh Cilantro and Chopped White Onion.  The Tortillas are also important.  We use White Corn Tortillas and cook them on a flattop so they crisp up just a bit.  These tacos were delicious.  Entire family loves them!

Love making Carne Asada Tacos at home.  They taste better than most all Mexican restaurants in Hawaii and satisfy our craving for Mexican food.  Made fresh Guacamole, Pico de Gallo and Salsa which really adds to the flavor.  So darn good!

Here is a very simple recipe for making fantastic Carne Asada Tacos at home.  After spending many days and nights at Taco Stands in Mexico, I can tell you that these are pretty close to what you would get on a corner in Tijuana or anywhere in Baja Mexico.  You need a few cold Tacate, Bohemia, Dos Equis, Pacifico or Corona beers to get the full effect.  The same recipe is used to make Carne Asada Burritos and Tostadas.
