We try to keep things really simple around here when it comes to Father’s Day. My husband’s carne asada recipe is a go to on those days because it’s super simple and everyone in the family loves it. Sal likes it so much that he doesn’t even mind having to be the one who makes it.
This recipe is especially easy when you can get all the ingredients in one place which is the case with Smart & Final. They have a fantastic meat selection plus all the fixings to make carne asada tacos, including avocados, salsa, cheese and sour cream. They even have decent beer and fresh produce sections – how easy is that?
When we make this recipe, we normally get up early to marinate the meat. Then we spend the morning at the pool and come to home so Sal can throw the meat on the grill while I whip up my secret family recipe for guacamole. Sometimes we serve it with rice and beans, others we throw veggies (corn, zucchini, baby bell peppers) on the grill as an easy side. Just depends on the day.

- 2 beers (we like Corona)

- Serve immediately.
