Carne asada - in the wild!

Cooking some bistek! 



Carne asada - get the seasoned arrachera meat from your local carniceria (usually seasoned with chili, garlic, cilantro, onions and lime)


Put on the grill and cook to taste. We prefer well-done.



Tacos - heat some tortillas, add meat, salsa, beans, lime and grilled onions.




Ofcourse some beer!
