The paleo carne asada tacos are going to be your new favorite meal. With flavorful marinated and seared meat, crunchy veggies, creamy avocado all wrapped in tortillas, you can't go wrong.
While the cilantro is bundled, chop the end with the stems about 2 inches up. Add the cilantro to a food processor.
Remove the seeds and stem from the jalapeno. Add to the food processor along with the cilantro.
Remove the skin from the garlic cloves, halve and add to the food processor.
Add the remaining ingredients for the marinade in the food processor and process on high speed for about 30 seconds or until all large chunks disappear.
Cut the meat in strips against the grain of the muscle fibers and then dice cutting in the other direction. Meat should be cut in about ½ inch cubes.
Put the steak in a resealable gallon sized bag. Cover it completely with the marinade, reserving ⅓ of the marinade in the basin of the food processor to be used when serving. Seal the bag and store the marinating steak in the fridge along with the reserved marinade. Marinate the steak for at least 2 hours, but up to overnight.
Carne Asada
Heat a frying pan over medium heat with a little bit of avocado oil.
Remove the steak from the marinade, discarding any leftover marinade. It is important for the searing of the meat to remove as much of the marinade as possible. If you are having trouble removing the steak from the marinade you can spoon it from the pan as the meat cooks.
Once the pan is hot, brown the steak searing all sides. The meat will take about 6-9 minutes to fully cook.
Tacos
Prepare the tacos by heating the tortillas in a skillet with a bit of oil for about 30 seconds per side. Shred cabbage, slice jalapeño removing seeds and veins, remove pit and skin and slice avocado, slice the radishes removing the ends and stem and peel and dice the onion.
Fill each tortilla with cabbage, carne asada, onion, radish, avocado, jalapeno and top with the reserved marinade.
Notes
**calculated calories do not include tortilla, but does include 100% of the marinade (which most is actually removed before cooking).
