FAQs

Can I prepare steak tacos ahead of time?

You can follow the directions up to Step 5 and then store your steak in an airtight container in your refrigerator for a couple of days. When you’re ready to make your tacos, reheat your steak in the microwave and then add the meat to your tortilla with your desired toppings. 

What is carne asada?

Carne asada just means “grilled beef.” It’s typically skirt or flank steak that has been marinated with some sort of lime juice marinade and then grilled.
