- 1 tablespoon Ground Cumin
- 2 teaspoons Garlic Powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon coriander
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon white pepper

Carne Asada
- 1 1/4 pounds steak flank or skirt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- lime slices
- 16 corn tortillas
Instructions
Prepare the seasoning mix:
- Prepare the taco seasoning by combining all ingredients in a small bowl. Stir to combine and set aside.
Prepare the seasoning sour cream:
- Combine the sour cream, mayonnaise and 1 tablespoon of taco seasoing mix.
Prepare the carne asada meat:
- Get the oven ready: Place the top oven rack in the second position from top and pre-heat broiler to “High.” Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and set aside.
- Place the flank steak on the prepared baking sheet and evenly brush the olive oil over both sides. Evenly sprinkle one tablespoon taco seasoning over the steak. Generously season with sea salt before turning. Repeat on the other side with the remaining taco seasoning and a little more salt.
- Place the steak under the broiler for 5-7 minutes, turning once halfway through, or until it reaches the desired level of doneness.
Prepare the tortillas:
- Place a large 12” cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. While the steak is broiling, add two corn tortillas to the hot skillet. Heat until they are warmed through and develop a bit of color, approximately 30 seconds to one minute. Flip with tongs and repeat on the remaining side. Transfer the warmed tortillas to a large sheet of aluminum foil (or a tortilla warmer, if you have one). Repeat with the remaining tortillas. Wrap the tortillas in the aluminum foil while working on the rest to keep warm.
Make the tacos:
- When ready to make the tacos remove the steak from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before cutting against the grain into thin slices. Transfer the steak to a medium bowl and toss with the fresh lime juice. Set aside.
- To serve, layer two tortillas together, as shown, and add some of the seasoned steak and your choice of toppings, such as sliced radishes, crumbled Cojita cheese, diced avocado, or fresh cilantro. Top each taco with a dollop of the seasoned sour cream mixture and serve immediately with additional lime wedges on the side. Enjoy!
Notes
Toppings:
Sliced radishes, Cotija cheese, diced avocado, and/or chopped cilantro. Pico de Gallo, salsa, and/or guacamole would be delicious alternatives, as well.
