We love to squeeze more limes over our tacos and serve with salsa verde.
You can purchase this but we have an amazing recipe for Homemade Salsa Verde here. It’s very simple to make and SO fresh and delicious.
I think these tacos are perfect with just a little extra lime and salsa. However, a few of the kids like to add sour cream and pico de gallo.
For a change, try orange juiced and olive oil. Whisk together with the lime juice and it’s delicious with the Carne asada taco.
Cotija cheese is a great cheese to top these delicious tacos with. Whichever way you like your Carne Asada Street tacos, they will be amazing!

I have made these with my daughter, we both love them! We usually have beans and rice on the side but her husband just has chips on the side. yum!
Yum. Looking forward to serving with rice & beans
Good, but I prefer less cilantro. Some chopped tomatoes and a sprinkle of cheese added really elevates flavor.
This looks like a wonderful and easy dinner tò fix. Will be trying it this weekend. I would like to add, as a side, baked broccoli that I had for the first time on Sunday. It was flavorful and so CRUNCHY!!!
This Taco recipe is so delicious I’m sure to make it again soon. I shared it with my daughter and sister-in-law and they just loved how easy it was along with being delicious. 5 stars for sure.
The recipe sounds wonderful! I might add a little guacamole to it too. We usually have refried beans and fiesta corn as sides when we have tacos
I haven’t made it before but I would and cilantro lime rice with black beans with this.
It was a very delicious recipe, I would recommend anyone to make it for their family
These are my favorite. Mouth watering yummy. So good. Lime. Is added plus
I’m so glad they loved it! I love the mexican sweet corn as a side. Thank you for commenting.
I love that!
I would love to try this recipe. I might try using chicken instead since I don’t have the meat required.
These street tacos are the BEST !! I add small strips of red bell pepper with mine and a bit od shredded mozzarella cheese. Sooo good. They will probably become a once a week item in my home !!! So many Great recipes here, dining has become fun again. And everyone loves being surprised at meal time !!
Thanks for Your Recipes !!
These tacos look and sound delicious. I would serve them with some Mexican rice. The toppings are salsa, cilantro, onions, avocado and sour cream. Thanks for the recipe!!
I haven’t tried this recipe yet but plan to. I would serve it with salsa.
Haven’t made them yet but will soon when my grandson comes for a visit. They look very good
I am definitely going to try this recipe because we love tacos. I will leave out the limes and add sour cream to the recipe. My husband and son likes sour cream on their tacos. Thanks for all the menus and recipes. It helps to have new ideas for dinner.
I am not sure if my original comment appeared. I made these for us on Mother’s Day as we had to get together on Saturday to celebrate with family. They were a big hit for my husband and me. I made the Mexican Sweet Corn as a side. I would not change anything in the recipe.
