At nearly every Mexican restaurant I go to I always order Carnitas Steak Tacos. There is something about the salty meat that has been marinated all day that is plain awesome! I searched everywhere online, combined several recipes and found this combination had just the flavor I was looking for. If you don’t want to slice the steak up in a taco, it is great to eat plain as well! This would be a great marinade for your upcoming 4th of July barbecues. Enjoy 🙂
Top your steak tacos with all of your favorite, fresh ingredients. We love avocados, cilantro, queso cheese, onions, etc.

Let the steak marinate for several hours. When ready to grill the steak, remove the steak from the marinade and then rub the remaining 1/3 of the rub onto the tops of each steak.
