Last night we decided to have carne asada tacos. As the missus left for the store to get some supplies, I suggested we try and make our own tortillas. So, she bought some pre-made masa dough and a cast iron tortilla press from the Mexican market and we're in business!
I fired up the Kingsford Oval for my usual smoky reverse sear, with a few chunks of oak on the hot coals:
After the meat was cooked, I pulled it, along with the crispy onions I carefully grilled without burning too much:
And finally, here's two plated tacos on the fresh tortillas along with a few slices of colby jack/poblano quesadilla:
The tortillas has a nice crisp texture on the outside, yet were puffy and light on the inside. They were amazing, and I don't think we'll ever use store bought tortillas for tacos again!
