Bistec Tacos

[vc_acf field_group="836" field_from_836="field_5ec7ef96179db"]
The secret to this recipe is in the marinade. In Mexico, you will find that taqueros will use an off-cut from the beef and will tenderise it through the marinade and a very thin cut. This is one of my all- ime favourite tacos!
