Despite the spice, I walked over to the alluring metal table in the middle of the small room with squeeze bottles full of salsas of many colors - hot green tomatillo, red medium sauce and darker smoky chile versions informally labeled with "wicked hot" or "medium hot" or "very hot," cut open my burrito and squeezed a dark mulatto pepper (dried poblano) salsa inside. Lured by the small white board on the counter that said "we have Mexican chorizo," I excitedly asked, "What can I have with chorizo in it?" They gave me a chorizo con huevos burrito (the sausage with scrambled eggs, $5) full of bits of spicy meat, which permeated the fluffy eggs and cheese inside a large tortilla. Mexican music plays in the background and the kitchen staff can sometimes be heard singing while chopping lettuce for the burritos.
You can freeze carne asada either before or after cooking, which makes it a super easy recipe for meal prep! If you do microwave, make sure to sprinkle some water over top first to keep it from drying out. Microwaving is not recommended because the steak can easily dry out, even if you don’t use full power. You could also use a sous vide or warm the meat in the oven. The meat and toppings should keep well there for up to 5 days.Īny leftover beef can be reheated quickly on a grill. Leftovers should be kept in airtight containers in the refrigerator. Otherwise, it will be very difficult to store the tacos fully loaded with toppings. Each serving is three tacos, so that equals to about 165 calories per taco. Chips and salsa or guacamole for dipping.Avocado – fresh sliced avocado or homemade guacamoleĭelicious side dishes for this meal include:.Citrus fruits – lime, lemon and even oranges are delicious on tacos.
Grilled onions – red onions are really good.
Sautéed bell peppers – any colour bell pepper will work.Diced tomatoes – fire roasted tomatoes are really delicious!.Lime crema – basically sour cream with lime juice added.Tacos are really easy to customize with your favourite toppings! If you’re having a party, set up a selection so that everyone can top theirs with whatever they like. Cheese – Cojita and/or feta are my go-to choices but any type of crumbly cheese will work well.Cilantro – leave this out altogether if you don’t like cilantro.White onions – red onions are also delicious.Pico de gallo – I like using fresh pico de gallo or salsa but you can also use jarred salsa or some fresh diced tomatoes.Corn tortillas – flour tortillas would also be good or you can make them into lettuce wraps for a low-carb option.Orange zest – lime zest would also work.Garlic – fresh minced garlic is best but you can also try using garlic powder or jarred minced garlic.Paprika – double up on the chili powder if you don’t have any paprika on hand.Cumin – coriander is the best substitute for cumin.Chili powder – make your own chili powder using a blend of paprika, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano and cayenne.Soy sauce – use low-sodium soy sauce, coconut aminos or tamari instead.Lemon juice will work in a pinch but has a slightly different flavour. Lime juice – freshly squeezed or bottled lime juice are good.Orange juice – freshly squeezed orange juice is best but bottled orange juice will also work.Olive oil – use any other high-smoke-point oil like avocado, peanut or coconut oil.Striploin steak – I like using sirloin but you can use any cut of beef with a small amount of marbling like ribeye or skirt steak.
