Carne Asada Marinade with Chipotle & Lime

Chipotle Lime Carne Asada Marinade

When my family gets together in the summer, we always eat exceptionally well. We take turns cooking breakfast, dinner, and dessert, and we make sure to cover all of the family favorites like Carmelitas, Chocolate Chip Cookies, Breakfast Casserole, Sonoran Hot Dogs, and my husband’s famous Tri-Tip. And we always, always, always have my brother-in-law Thomas make his delicious Carne Asada. He’s been known to grill up an extra-large batch so that we can eat leftovers for days and days. We look forward to having it any time he and my sister are in town, which sadly, isn’t very often. Luckily, he has shared the recipe with all of us, so we can have it whenever we want, like this weekend for Cinco de Mayo! It doesn’t exactly make up for them living all the way across the country, but it doesn’t hurt!

From my brother-in-law Thomas. We like to serve ours thinly sliced in the smallest size of soft flour tortillas, topped with shredded cheese, lettuce, salsa, sour cream, and guacamole.
