- While the steak is resting, warm the tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds on each side.
- To assemble the tacos, place a few slices of the grilled steak on each tortilla. Top with diced onion, chopped cilantro, and a squeeze of fresh lime juice.
- Serve the carne asada tacos with your favorite salsa, guacamole, and additional lime wedges on the side. Enjoy!
