Tacos de Carne Asada Guadelupe Style

August 13, 2011 by Katie Mae Stanley 4 Comments

The smell of carne asada cooking over hot grill at a taco stand is intoxicating. It’s the essence of street food in Mexico. I was never a huge fan of beef until went to Mexico and had a bite of my first taco. Mumm, I can just taste it now. When my friends and I want to hang out at night we don’t go to a coffee shop, our town didn’t even get one of those until about a year ago, no we go to the taco stand.
There’s not many things better than a taco filled with thin pieces of carne asada topped with salsa, guacamole, cilantro, onion, a dash of salt and a few lime wedges squeezed over it all. Almost all of our staff and students love those tacos. On a special night sometimes I’ll drive to town and buy all my girls tacos to eat while a watch a movie on a Friday or Saturday night. Even though I love our taco stand’s tacos I wanted to be able to make my own as well. So I fittled around a bit with flavor till I found ones that did them justice.

    Hi Katie,

    It looks like it was love at the first bite.
    The first time my brother in law ate a taco from a street taco stand couldn’t believe we never told him how good they are.

    At home when we made them, we still eat the tacos standing around the kitchen counter. Just to give the illusion of a Taco stand.

    Have a great weekend.

    Mely
