Instructions
- For the Carne Asada Tacos, mix cilantro, lime and orange juice, Original Hot Sauce, oil, garlic powder, cumin, oregano, chili powder, 1 tablespoon of the salt and black pepper in medium bowl until well blended. Reserve 1/3 cup of the marinade for basting. Place steak in large resealable plastic bag. Add remaining marinade to bag, turning to coat well. Massage marinade into meat. Refrigerate 30 minutes - 1 hour.
- Heat grill on medium-high heat. Remove steak from marinade; discard any remaining marinade. Grill steak 6 - 8 minutes per side or until desired doneness (about 130 - 140°F for medium-rare), basting with reserved marinade halfway through. Remove steak from grill, sprinkle evenly with remaining kosher salt and allow to rest 5 minutes. Slice steak across the grain into thin strips, then cut into bite-size pieces.
- Fill warm tortillas with steak. Add desired toppings. Drizzle generously with Cilantro Lime Cremosa to serve.
Tip: For extra flavor, marinate steak overnight!
