These Carne Asada Street Tacos are loaded with flavorful grilled steak, pickled onions, cilantro, jalapeno rings, queso panela, and drizzled with a chipotle ranch. The end result is truly a taco lovers delight with a unique combination of flavors that work in perfect harmony together. My family loves it when I tell them this is on the menu for the week. I like to serve them with Mexican Shrimp Cocktail and Corn Salad with Easy Lime Vinaigrette.

How To Make carne asada street tacos

Step 1

Add sliced red onions to a bowl or mason jar. Bring apple cider vinegar, water and sugar to a low boil stirring to dissolve the sugar. Pour hot liquid over red onions. Cool to room temperature. Store in an airtight container in the fridge.

Step 2

Combine steak, lime juice, orange juice, garlic, cilantro, vegetable oil, jalapeno, cumin, chili powder, salt and pepper in a ziploc bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours up to overnight. Preheat grill to 400 degrees. Grill 7-8 minutes per side. Loosely cover with aluminum foil and let rest 10 minutes.
Step 3

In small bowl mix ranch dressing, chipotle pepper and adobo sauce.
Step 4

Warm tortillas in microwave. Thinly slice the steak against the grain. Divide the steak evenly between the tortillas. Add the jalapenos, cilantro, queso panela, and drizzle with the chipotle ranch.
