Mexican Street Tacos Recipes

AUTHENTIC BAJA-MEXICAN STREET TACOS (CARNE ASADA)

Steps:

• Combine orange juice, 2 tablespoons cilantro, lime juice, garlic, salt, pepper, cumin, and cayenne in a large freezer bag. Submerge skirt steaks in the marinade. Seal the bag, squeezing out as much air as possible. Refrigerate, 1 to 8 hours.
• Preheat a grill to medium-high. Grill the steaks until hot and firm in the center or to your preferred doneness, 6 to 8 minutes per side. Transfer steaks to a flat work surface and slice as thinly as possible against the grain.
• Heat corn tortillas on the grill or in a microwave. Keep tortillas warm in a folded sheet of aluminum foil covered by a thick towel.
• Add steak to each tortilla and top with white onion and cilantro.

MEXICAN STREET CORN CHICKEN TACOS RECIPE

Steps:

• In a skillet pan over medium heat, heat oil. Add cooked and shredded chicken, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir and cook until completely heated through and all the chicken is coated in seasonings. Remove from heat, cover with aluminum foil to keep warm, and set aside while you prepare the corn.
• In another skillet (or you can use the same skillet you heated the chicken in), heat oil over medium heat.
• Add frozen corn and let cook until corn starts to char, stirring occasionally (it took about 7-8 minutes before my corn was lightly charred).
• While the corn is cooking, mix together mayonnaise, cheese, lime juice, jalapeno, cilantro, red onion, garlic, chili powder, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. When corn is done, gently fold it in with other ingredients.
• Lay tortilla out on a plate. Top with 1/2 cup chicken, some Mexican street corn, sliced avocados, cotija cheese, and fresh cilantro.
