If you are looking for a quick and easy meal to make for dinner, street tacos are always a good idea! My favorite part about street tacos is the variety of ingredients that can go in them. Onions, lettuce, pico de gallo, cheese, meat, guacamole, you name it! Mexican styled street tacos are a MUST to know to to make. My kids like to build their own tacos and we normally have a line of different items they can put inside. That way everyone is happy!
The marinade in my opinion is the most important part when you are preparing street tacos. This marinade brings out all of the flavors you would want in a perfect Mexican dish! You won’t even need to add extra toppings into the taco because the meat will already have so much flavor. The carne asada will come out perfectly cooked and juicy.

No matter how you love your tacos, this is how I get mine to be delicious every time.
