Marinated Skirt Steak Carne Asada Tacos

Nothing beats tacos hot off the grill—especially when they're made with our Folsom Farm Beef Outside Skirt Steak. It's flavorful, tender, and perfect for quick, high-heat grilling. This citrusy marinade brings out bold carne asada flavor, and the char delivers that signature street taco bite. Great for Cinco de Mayo or any night of the week.
