Mexican Carne Asada has a rich history dating back to the ranches of northern Mexico, where it was traditionally prepared as a celebratory dish. The term "carne asada" translates to "grilled meat," and the dish typically features marinated beef, such as skirt or flank steak, grilled to perfection. The marinade often includes a blend of citrus juices, garlic, and Mexican spices, infusing the meat with bold, savory flavors. Today, this beloved dish can be found at taquerias, family gatherings, and upscale restaurants throughout Mexico and the southwestern United States. For an authentic experience, seek out a local taqueria known for its expertly grilled carne asada, and savor it in a warm tortilla with fresh salsa and guacamole.
