Marination

Taco Assembling

1. Preheat the oven to 425F.

2. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or cooking oil.
   

3. In a small bowl, mix all the seasonings + sauces.

4. Rub the marination into the giant flap meat, both sides.
   

5. Bake for 20 min, flipping at the 10min. mark.

6. Let cool while you prep any guac + pico de gallo.

Recipe Notes:

• Flap meat is the same meat used for carne asada tacos. It's tender, chewy, and flavorful.

• When cooking the tortillas, I like to use a skillet a high heat, flip once, sprinkle the cheese to melt, then place the shrimp on top.
