Carne Asada Tacos: Easy & Essential for Mexican Summer Parties

Carne asada tacos means it’s a party. If you’re at someone’s house and carne asada is being served, the following are also likely true: It’s summer time. It’s a weekend. You’re drinking a cerveza bien fria and there’s a blazing-hot grill nearby. You’re outdoors, surrounded by your favorite people. And all is good in the world, at least for that day.
Marinated a couple hours in Mexican beer, lime juice, and lots of spices, the carne is charred to medium or medium-rare and topped with minced onion, cilantro, and a squirt of lime. Serve it with charred Mexican spring onions and hot tortillas, and you’re in for a unforgettable, soul-satisfying meal, says Vivi Abeja, one of our favorite Mexican food cooks. She lives in Chicago’s traditionally Mexican neighborhood of Little Village, near her very large, close family.
“Growing up, my family used to get together at my grandparent's house a lot. I remember seeing my tias and tios prepping the meat in large aluminum charolas with a simple seasoning mix, lime juice and beer. It seemed like such an easy marinade for a delicious meal and it always came out so, so good!”
