Big and bold, yet light and fresh. These carne asada tacos just hit all the right spots.

Charring the salsa ingredients on the grill adds another dimension of flavour. Avocado crema is cool and refreshing and flank steak is the perfect choice when treated with love.

Cutting across the grain is the proper way to slice the cooked flank steak so that it is more tender and not chewy.
