What Are Street Tacos?

Traditional Mexican tacos are commonly referred to as street tacos.

The meat is stuffed into a corn tortilla and then topped with cilantro, onions, and salsa.

You will find no cheese, tomatoes, or lettuce in traditional street tacos.

Street tacos are a type of taco that originated in Mexico and are distinguished by their small size and simple, delicious ingredients.

They are referred to as “street” tacos, given that they are mostly sold by street vendors or in small, informal settings.

That being said, some of the key features of street tacos are as follows: simple fillings, corn tortillas, small size, authentic flavor, minimal garnishes, accessibility, variety, and cultural significance.

Keep in mind that even though there are some common elements, the exact composition of a street taco can differ widely as it is determined by the region and the cook’s personal preferences.

This versatility is one of the reasons why street tacos are cherished and adaptable.

As previously mentioned, street tacos are small, delectable tacos that come from Mexico.

They are popular for their small size and are normally served on soft corn tortillas.

They feature simple, authentic fillings such as grilled meat (e.g., al pastor, Carne Asada) or vegetables, with minimal toppings such as cilantro, onions, and lime.

These tacos are a well-known part of Mexican street food culture; they are loved thanks to their accessibility and flavorful, natural flavors.

• Course: Main Course
• Cuisine: Mexican
• Prep Time: 10 minutes
• Cook Time: 9 minutes
• Total Time: 19 minutes
• Servings: 6

Ingredients

• 16 street taco-size corn tortillas
• 3 Ibs of flank steak
• 1 bunch of cilantro (finely chopped)
• 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon of pepper
• 1 teaspoon of salt
• 4 tablespoons of butter (divided)
• 2 fresh limes
• ½ onion (chopped)

Laid-Out Instructions

• First, you are to preheat the Blackstone griddle over high heat, just around 450 degrees Fahrenheit. To get good char on the steaks, make sure that the griddle is hot.
• After that, thinly slice the steak and then chop it into bite-sized pieces. Also, spread the oil out onto the Blackstone grill.
• Immediately after the oil is hot, place the sliced steak on the Blackstone grill on top of the oil. That being done, season the steak with salt and pepper. Allow them to cook for 2-3 minutes and ensure that you do not move them to get good char on the steak.
• Get a spatula and use it to turn over the steaks onto a separate part of the grill. When that is done, cook the steaks for 2-3 extra minutes to char the opposite side of the steaks.
• After that, top the steak with 2 tablespoons of butter and allow it to melt into the steak mixture.
• That being done, remove the steak from the grill to a separate plate, then top it with the fresh lime juice and set it aside.
• Now, melt the remaining butter on the Blackstone grill and place the tortillas in a single layer on the grill. Also, cook the tortillas for 2-3 minutes per side until they are browned.
• When that is done, it’s time to assemble the tacos. Use 2 tortillas per taco, spoon the meat mixture onto the tacos, and then top with the cilantro and diced onions. Proceed to serve it warm and enjoy.

My favorite night is always taco night, and if you want to complete your meal, below are some serving suggestions for you!

Storage and Reheat

Refrigerator

Allow the meat to completely cool, and then store it in a container for 3–4 days.

Freezer

To freeze, make sure it cools completely, and then store it in a tightly sealed container. This will allow it to last for 3 months.

Reheat

To reheat, if frozen, thaw in the fridge before reheating. It can be rewarmed in the air fryer at 350 degrees Fahrenheit, manual setting.

Remember that the timing will vary by amount. You also have the option of griddling the meat back to your preferred temp.

Blackstone Street Tacos FAQs

Can You Cook This On The Stovetop Instead Of A Gas Griddle?

Of course, you can. Just about any recipe that is cooked on the griddle can be cooked inside in a pan on the stove.

The truth is that it will just take so much longer. Ensure that you do not crowd your pan, or you won’t get that peculiar crust.

Why Do Street Tacos Have Two Corn Tortillas?

If they get damp, corn tortillas are likely to break apart a bit.

Doubling up on the tortillas allows you to pile on the toppings (and hot sauce) without worrying about everything falling out of the bottom.

How Do You Store Leftover Street Tacos?

You can store any leftovers in a tightly sealed container or plastic food storage bag in the fridge. However, remember that you have to eat it within 3–4 days.

How Do You Reheat Leftover Street Tacos?

In my opinion, the best way to reheat leftover street tacos will be to place them in the oven or air fryer.

You also have the option of using the microwave in a pinch.

However, just ensure that you cook at around 325 degrees Fahrenheit if you use the oven or air fryer, and just until it becomes hot.

Now, for the microwave, enough meat for 2-3 tacos should take around 1:30–2 minutes, maximum, to heat up.

Frying the Tortillas to Make Shells: How Did You Do That?

Simply add a bit more oil to the griddle and fry them up. I will say that this is definitely an interesting way to do it.

I suggest that you use a bit of oil on the tortillas before you grill them; that way, the salt will adhere better.

Final Thoughts

These street tacos are a fast and simple dinner idea. Cooking the flank steak on the griddle is just perfect for a large family.
