Carne Asada is so versatile! You can’t go wrong with the right recipe. A special thanks to my friend Karla for giving me the idea for this recipe. You are amazing!There is a little taco truck close to where we live that has THE BEST carne asada burritos. The taco truck serves shredded cabbage instead of shredded lettuce on their Carne Asada burritos. It makes all the difference. I had to add cabbage to this recipe! Yum!

Carne Asada Marinade

One of the secrets to this delicious recipe, is the marinade. Made with jalepenos, garlic, cilantro, soy sauce, vinegar and more, there is so much flavor in this marinade! The process of soaking meat enhances the flavor of the meat. Generally marinades use an acid — like vinegar or citrus juice — to change the surface texture. You can marinade all kinds of meats, but in the case of this Mexican dish, having the marinade on beef turns it from a regular meat into a over-the-top flavorful meal.
