What I love about cooking Mexican is all the fresh ingredients. You don’t find fresh Mexican like this out in restaurants often, at least I don’t. A meal like this is really easy to put together at home, and you can feel good about it too. Even my son enjoyed his little taco…I felt really good about that!
Recipe from For the love of cooking
1 1/2 – 2 lbs of flank steak
1/3 cup vinegar
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup olive oil
1 tsp cumin
1-2 tsp black pepper
1 tsp salt
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp onion powder (I substitued chives since I was out of onion powder)
1 1/2 tsp oregano
2 limes, juiced
4-5 cloves garlic minced
In a gallon size Ziploc bag, combine all ingredients with flank steak and mix really well. Let marinate for at least 6 hours – overnight if you can.
Grill steak until desired degree of doneness. LET SIT FOR AT LEAST 5-10 MINUTES! Once the meat has cooled, slice ACROSS grain into small chunks.
Quick Salsa
Recipe from Aggie’s Kitchen
1 can of diced tomatoes (Mexican or Fire Roasted), drained
1/2 small red onion, chunked
1-2 jalapenos, seeded and deveined, chunked
2 garlic cloves
1 lime, juiced
small bunch of cilantro, chopped
salt and pepper, to taste
Throw all of the ingredients in food processor and pulse to desired consistency.

What a perfect post for cinco de mayo! I love FRESH, healthier mexican food. I will def be checking out Pam’s blog! Thanks Aggie. Good look with the blog issues- technology can be a pain in the behind.
Carne Asada tacos are on my menu for Cinco De Mayo. Yours looks delicious!
I am so glad you liked it! Your pictures look really good and your salsa gounds great – using fire roasted tomatoes is a tasty idea. Thanks for the shout out and links.
What a perfect meal for Cinco de Mayo! I wish I could help you with your blog issues, but I only know enough to be dangerous.
Great dinner! I’m going to do steak fajitas/tacos tonight! YUM!
Looking good! I love fresh Mex. I am going to buy my hubs a grill for his b-day, it is on Saturday! We will have to have a Mexican feast! I hope you get your issues fixed and soon!!
Wow Aggie this looks sensational!
I wish I could help you with your blog, but I am about as dumb as they come with html.
Oh wow, those look amazing! Love the flank steak shot.
This looks sooo good! I’m excited because it doesn’t look too difficult and all the ingredients are things my non-foodie boyfriend will eat (besides the salsa — more for me!). This will help get me away from using preseasoned taco mix!
I’m not very good with HTML either.
( I just know the little I’ve picked up from doing my own blog.
I keep telling Pam she needs to seriously open up a little Mexican food joint. She would do a killer business!
If I want to make anything Mexican I go to Pam.
Looks good Aggie!
Mmmm…that marinade sounds amazing. I love Pam’s blog too!
Another resounding “I love Pam!” over here. She’s awesome. A almost consider her more than a blog, she’s a resource. Someone whose page I would actually go to on its own to search for dinner ideas.
I’ve wanted to do these tacos for a while now. Thanks for posting about them – your version looks just wonderful.
Looks amazing! I love Pam’s blog too! I’ve never cooked flank steak before (my list of new things to cook just keeps growing!), and this recipe looks like a great way to try it for the first time!
I would love these little tacos!
So glad to see a post from you today! Your carne asada tacos look terrific. Like your husband, my hubby would love this for dinner. I’ve not made flank steak before. Your photos are inspiring me to try it! Love it! YUM!
PS: Hope the blog gremlin leaves your computer soon! I need to get my daily Aggie fix!
The photos are stunning Aggie. I like the contrast in the photo of the onion and chives?
I agree what a perfect dish for Cinco de Mayo.
= )
your photos are making me hungry for tomorrow! I am a huge fan of Pam as well and I’m always inspired by her recipes.
Don’t worry about your blog, I think it looks great! it’s simple and clean cut
So fresh and delicious! I’m a fan of corn on the cob too – yummy.
Amazing looking tacos!
I am dying for some Mexican food right now Aggie! Thanks!
I am having technical difficulties with my blog template which is why things are looking a little different around here.
