Gumbo Ya Ya: Carne Asada Soft Tacos

Welcome to my site!

I'm Cindy, and I love to cook! And, I love to eat... hence the size of my rear end! I come from a long line of cooks. My great great Grandmother was a cook in the original Harvey Houses. My grandmother Julia was an awesome cook, and my mom was incredible. I owe my skills to these great women. Especially my Mom who said this to me about making gravy... "Cindy Lynn, wallpaper paste is wallpaper paste & gravy is gravy. Never the two shall meet!" Shall we say my first experience at making gravy left a little bit to be desired! Thank the high heavens my cooking skills have improved since then! Enjoy!

This is a quick and easy meal for those weeknights when you don’t have a lot of time – or for any time that you want a delicious meal. It is one of my son’s favorite, and we have served them many times when company is visiting.

Ingredients:

Carne Asada meat
Corn tortillas – or flour your choice
Garlic Salt
Adobo Seasoning
Your favorite salsa

Accompaniments:

Lime wedges
Chopped white onion
Chopped cilantro
Chopped tomatoes

You could also use lettuce, cheese, avocado, sour cream or any other toppings that you like on your taco’s.

Directions:

Season the meat with the garlic salt and adobo seasoning. Barbecue the meat for a couple of minutes on each side. Because carne asada is already cut thin, it shouldn’t take long to cook.

Warm the tortillas. We have a plastic tortilla warmer that works great in the microwave. I’ve also used the oven to warm larger batches of tortillas. Just sprinkle them with a tiny bit of water and wrap in aluminum foil; warm in a 325 degree oven for about 15 minutes.

Cut the meat into bite sized pieces. Let everyone assemble their taco with the fillings of their choice.
