Carne Asada Tacos

Upon learning that I am pretty anemic from a blood test, I have been trying to eat red meat more often.  These carne asada soft tacos have pretty much become a weekly staple.   They are so tasty and easy, everyone should learn to make them.  Carne Asada is simply steak (either skirt, flank, or flap)  marinated in a mixture of juice, garlic, herbs and spices, then grilled, thinly sliced, and served here in a fresh corn tortilla topped with quick homemade salsa, guacamole and a little cheese.  Naturally gluten-free and bursting with flavor, everyone will love them.  And they will also help boost your iron levels 🙂
