Carne Asada literally means grilled meat and you will find it thinly sliced and stuffed into tacos at taquerias all over Mexico. A simple recipe for Carne Asada is to marinate steak with lime, our Smoky Chipotle Fajita & Taco Mix and olive oil, grill steak and slice thinly. Serve in Soft Taco Wraps with your favourite toppings including salsa, guacamole, and jalapeño & pineapple.

Of course prime cuts will yield fantastic results, but in Mexico you will find many delicious dishes are made from cheaper, less fashionable cuts. We highly recommend trying brisket, oxtail, and ox cheek.

There's lots of scope to add flavour and spice to your sides when having a Mexican BBQ. You cannot go wrong with Tortilla Chips, Salsa and Guacamole. We are fans of adding a dollop of smoky Chipotle Paste to Coleslaw, Potato Salad, and Chopped Salad for extra punch!

To make authentic Mexican marinades for BBQ, you can use a combination of citrus juices (lime, orange), Mexican spices (cumin, chilli powder, oregano), garlic, and sometimes achiote paste or adobo sauce for added depth of flavour.

Grilling techniques for Mexican BBQ can vary depending on the dish, but some popular methods include direct grilling for meats, using charcoal or wood chips for smoky flavours, and grilling vegetables in a grill basket or on skewers.

To host a Mexican BBQ party, consider serving a variety of Mexican BBQ meats, sides, and salsas. Set up a make-your-own taco station, offer refreshing drinks like margaritas or horchata, and play Mexican music to create a festive atmosphere.

You can incorporate Mexican BBQ flavours into everyday grilling by using Mexican spices like chilli powder, cumin, and oregano on meats and vegetables. Experiment with Mexican-inspired marinades and salsas, and serve the grilled items with Mexican-style sides like rice, beans, and tortillas.
