I had originally planned to talk about burgers with you today.
But then Pati Jinich’s Sonoran carne asada tacos caught my eye. I can’t think of a better plan for Monday than making the components of her recipe – the steak, which is salted and quickly grilled; the fiesta refried beans, which are spread on a warm flour tortilla as a base for the beef; the salsa and the chilli verde guacamole for topping – and inviting your loved ones to feast. It’s worth it to prep the beans, salsa and guacamole, if you have the time. But this is still an amazing dinner – and a fast one – if you simplify or buy one (or more than one) of those components.
