Instructions
- Combine marinade ingredients.
- Add the beef to the marinade separating slices of beef so they get evenly covered.

- Allow to marinate overnight, or at least 8 hours.
- Heat grill to medium high and place meat on grill for about 1-2 minutes on each side. The beef is thin and will cook quickly.

- Layer carne asada on tortilla shells and add any or all of the garnishes. Roll up into a burrito and enjoy!
Notes
*Not adobo paste, if you can't find adobo sauce, buy canned chilis in adobo sauce, drain, and use the sauce.
