Tacos Al Carbon

Taco Tuesday could not be any more simple than these Tacos Al Carbon! Paper thin strips of steak tossed on the grill that are ready in minutes! Throw some onions slices on, make a quick Pico de Gallo with avocado and you have a delicious taco!

I have friends that live in Cabo and this is how they make tacos. They buy steak or beef and have the butcher cut it very, very thin. Just seasoned with salt and pepper, they throw it on the grill and it just takes a few minutes to cook. It is not cooked medium rare like we cook beef in the states, but they cook to well done and a little charred. Absolutely delicious! They then dice it into cubes! Perfection. They also throw onions on the grill or wrap in foil and place that on the grill.

I used ribeye this time because I was at the store and they had ribeye steak cut paper thin. You know like you’d get for a Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich! Love those! Need to add those to my blog! Anyway, back to this recipe, they had a top round that was sliced super thin too.

I used flour tortillas. I used the fresh made flour tortillas from my local HEB. They are delicious! Here’s a link for those: https://www.heb.com/product-detail/h-e-b-select-ingredients-flour-tortillas/465326.

I topped it with a simple Pico de Gallo that I added avocado. Here’s the link for the pico. https://the2spoons.com/pico-de-gallo-with-avocado/.

Print Recipe
Course dinner, Lunch, Main Course
Cuisine Mexican
Servings 2 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1b paper thin steak (ribeye, top round, sirloin)
  • extra virgin olive oil
  • salt and pepper
  • 1 onion, sliced in thick slices
  • Pico de Gallo
  • 4 flour tortillas

Avocado Pico de Gallo

  • Tomatoes
  • Purple Onions
  • Jalapeno
  • Cilantro
  • Salt
  • Lime Juice

Instructions
 

  • I didn't add amounts because you can use this recipe to make any amount. Dice the tomato, onions, jalapeno, cilantro and toss. Dice the avocado and add to the mixture. Add the lime juice and a little salt. Start with one lime and a little salt, then adjust as needed or to your taste.   This won't keep a long time because all the ingredients are fresh but it won't last anyway…it is addictive!!
  • Start your gas grill, get your charcoal grill ready, whatever method you are using. Add a little olive oil to the onion slices and salt them. Place them on the grill, or an alternative is to wrap it in foil and place it on the grill.
  • Add a little extra virgin olive oil to the beef slices. Sprinkle with salt. Heat the grill you are using, charcoal or gas. When hot add the steak and cook until no red is showing, flip and cook the other side. This literally takes minutes. When done remove from the heat and tent with foil and allow to rest.
  • Cut the beef into cubes, or small bites. Heat your tortillas on a hot griddle or skillet. Place flour tortillas on a plate, add the grilled onions, top with the Avocado Pico de Gallo. Serve with lime wedges and your favorite salsa if you like!
    Enjoy!
