My husband and I love authentic Mexican food. It’s our favorite and we’ve learned to master making it the authentic way over the years. It’s definitely not the ground beef tacos I grew up with! It’s so much better. While we love going out to eat, it gets expensive so we’ve mastered making authentic Mexican steak tacos at home. It’s not at all difficult and once you eat these you will never go back to the Americanized version of tacos!

You’ll want to marinate flank steak overnight or at least 3 hours in the fridge before grilling it. I made a fantastic marinade using garlic, onion, jalapeño, cilantro, kosher salt, lime juice, orange juice, lemon juice, CHA! by Texas Pete, and olive oil. Mix it all together in the food processor, dicing the dry ingredients first and then adding the liquid ingredients and pulsing.

Pour over the meat and marinate in the fridge for at least 3 hours or overnight. If you can’t find flank steak near you then you can use any cut of steak you like. Use a meat tenderizer to pound it flat.

Then bring your meat to room temperature (about 30 minutes) and grill over medium high heat until cooked how you like it. For these tacos we used some of our grass fed beef from the freezer and didn’t have any flank steak on hand. This works well too, just be sure to slice it thin after it cooks. Be sure to let it rest before cutting and cut against the grain or chop into small pieces.

Serve on corn tortillas that have been warmed in a skillet and slightly browned. Top with Queso Fresco cheese (find it in the dairy section), CHA! by Texas Pete sauce, Cilantro, lime wedges, guacamole, and pico de gallo.

  1. They have a ton of great recipes on their site. One of them is a bacon wrapped meatloaf. In our house we make a lot of casseroles. I think this would be good incorporated into those. I have been seeing sriracha all over the place, but have never tried it. I guess I am not entirely sure of how I would use it until I know what the flavor would be.
