Cinco de Mayo Recipes: Cast Iron Carne Asada
Carne Asada Quesadillas – Cinco de Mayo Recipes
This recipe uses a simple, spicy rub instead of a more traditional marinade. The salt and brown sugar help tenderize the skirt steak, which is a tasty, fast-cooking cut. You can substitute flank steak. Mexican markets also often sell marinated carne asada, which you can use here and skip the dry rub.
