Directions
Step 1
In a bowl, prepare the marinade by combining orange juice, lime juice, olive oil, minced garlic, cilantro, ground black pepper, cumin, and paprika.

Step 5
Let the steak rest for a few minutes before slicing it thinly against the grain.
Step 6
Warm the corn tortillas on the grill or in a dry skillet for about 30 seconds on each side.
Step 7
Assemble the tacos by placing slices of carne asada in each tortilla and topping with diced onions and chopped cilantro.
