Carne Asada Tacos with Homemade Salsa and Elote

I love Mexican food, I could probably eat it 2 times a week easy. But with this quarantine, you can't go to the Taqueria every day! I made these yummy tacos along with a homemade salsa and Mexican street corn (elote) for Cinco de Mayo this year and they were a hit.

2. Pour the mixture into a large bowl, add in the El Pato and tomato sauce. Sprinkle black pepper and squeeze the juice of one lime and mix. The salsa gets better with each day and it gets spicier too!

3. Warm up a can of beans with 2 tbsp of water to make it easier to spread.
