  • Total Time: 3 hours 30 minutes

Ingredients

Scale

1 recipe Carne Asada Steak

1 recipe Chicken Tinga

12 avocados

12 (4-inch) corn tortillas

ยฝ cup chopped fresh cilantro

1 jalapeno pepper, sliced

ยฝ cup chopped onion

1 cup crumbled cotija cheese

Lime wedges

Instructions

1-Gathering and Prepping: First, gather all your ingredients and follow the directions: Grill the carne asada and cook the chicken tinga according to their recipe instructions. This sets the foundation for your street tacos. Slice the carne asada and shred the chicken tinga to make them ready for assembly.

2-Building the Tacos: Next, mash the avocado with a fork, seasoning it with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lime juice, then stir well for a creamy topping. Warm your 12 (4-inch) corn tortillas on a hot griddle or pan for about 30 seconds per side to make them pliable. Spread the mashed avocado on each tortilla and add a scoop of your chosen meat, like the grilled carne asada or shredded chicken tinga.

3-Adding Toppings and Serving: Now, top each taco with chopped cilantro, jalapeno slices, chopped onion, and crumbled cotija cheese for that authentic touch. Finish with a squeeze of lime juice over the tacos before serving. This step ensures the flavors meld together perfectly, making your street tacos recipe with authentic flavors truly stand out.

Notes

๐Ÿ”ฅ For the most authentic flavor, grill the carne asada over charcoal or wood for that smoky charred taste
๐ŸŒฎ Double up the tortillas for each taco – this prevents them from breaking and adds authentic street taco texture
๐Ÿฅ‘ Prepare all toppings ahead of time and set up a taco bar so guests can customize their own tacos
