Carne Asada Tacos

Taco Tuesday is taken seriously around our house! We do not mess around when it comes to tacos. If there was only one type of food that I could eat for the rest of my life it would 100% be Mexican food! Not be sound dramatic, but if this meal was my last meal on earth I would not be mad for a second. For me, the flavor is allll in the salsa! If you have a crappy salsa, then your meal taste crappy. I like to season my meat minimally, then pack the flavor into the toppings! You can find my two favorite salsas here  and here .  I also love topping it with roasted peppers, my faviorite fajitas recipe is here. 

I loveee the taste of the carne asada, but I also ate several vegan tacos that blew me away. I did uncooked corn tortillas, roasted peppers ,guacamole,  red salsa, mango salsa, organic pinto beans, lime and cilantro. They make awesome leftovers that can be enjoyed throughout the week!
