A Pati Jinich Recipe
Carne Asada Lorenza
12 tacos
Lorenza de Carne Asada
Ingredients
- 1 batch carne asada from Sonora Style Carne Asada Tacos, cut into cubes
- 12 corn tortillas
- Frijoles de Fiesta, or refried beans of your choice
- 12 ounces melty cheese, such as Oaxaca, Monterey Jack, asadero, or muenster, grated (about 3 cups)
- Sonoran Roasted Salsa
- Chile Verde Guacamole
To Prepare
- Cut the prepared carne asada into 1/2-inch dice and keep warm in a covered dish.
- Reduce the heat to medium if using a gas grill, and if using charcoal use a cooler part of the grill for heating the tortillas. Brush the tortillas with water and sprinkle with salt to taste on both sides. Toast on the grill for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until lightly browned and crispy on both sides.
- Slather about 2 heaped tablespoons of refried beans on each crisp corn tortilla. Top with 1/4 cup grated cheese. Place back on the grill, cheese side up, and heat until the cheese melts and the tortilla turns a darker brown. Transfer to a platter, top with a generous amount of meat, and bring to the table. Let your guests add salsa tatemada and chile verde guacamole to taste.
