Carne asada is a great way for the whole family to enjoy a better cut of meat in a taco rather than the usual ground beef, on a limited budget.

Make a couple of tacos by adding some shredded cabbage, fresh pico de gallo, a squeeze of lime, and a drizzle of crema or slightly thinned sour cream wrapped in charred corn tortillas, and you have a healthful, delicious, balanced and inexpensive meal.

If you prefer chicken, this marinade also works great with boneless, skinless chicken thighs.

The recipe will make enough taco or burrito filling for 4 and is easily doubled.
