SO WHAT YOU'RE GONNA NEED IS:

Instructions

Marinate the Meat

  • Place Meat in a resealable plastic bag with a few stems of Cilantro.
  • In a glass measuring cup or any jar with a spout, combine Orange Juice, Lime, Olive Oil, Cumin, Oregano, Salt, Pepper, 1/2 sliced Onion, pressed/minced Garlic. Stir.
  • Pour marinade mixture into the resealable plastic bag. Remove excess air, seal and let the meat marinate a minimum of 2 hours. Note, you can even let marinate in the fridge for up to 2 days.

Make the Tacos

  • When you’re ready to make the tacos, prepare the toppings by dicing the remaining 1/2 onion and slicing wedges of lime. Set aside.
  • Place a little oil and the marinated meat in a grill pan over medium heat. Let grill for about 2-3 minutes on each side. Remove and place on a plate.
  • Let the meat rest for about 5-10 minutes.
  • Depending on your preference, cut the meat in strips or dice it
  • Heat the corn tortilla for about 30 seconds on the grill and place on a plate.
  • Top tortilla with the meat, onion, crumbled Queso Fresco and a squeeze of lime. Note, you can top with other goodies like salsa or guacamole…but they’re great on their own.
