I love carne picada tacos. Its quick, easy and delicious. Let me explain why carne picada is a little different than the more common fajita. Fajita means thin strips and carne picada means minced meat. Generally when you make fajitas its whole marinated meat. Often a tougher cut marinated in lime or other acids then once cooked and rested sliced into the stripes. Carne picada on the flip side is minced meat prior to cooking. So season, cook, eat and repeat ..well the eat part. Since carne picada is minced prior to cooking or marinating its already has the tougher part broken down so it actually cuts marinating time down significantly. You’re really marinating for flavor other than fajitas you’re marinating to tenderize.
Now when I make carne picada its a kitchen sink type of taco for me. Any peppers, onions, spices all find their way in. Heck, even beer that im not too fond off ill throw in just to use it up. Try it out and let me know what you think!
