Carne Asada Recipe (Meat with Sides in Tortillas)

This is the special meal that Carlos, Celia, and their family made for us.  Carlos cooked the steaks on the grill and chopped up the meat.  Karla and her boyfriend were cutting up the vegetables when we came back from a church service.  Celia and I continued to cut up more vegetables.  I squeezed the small fresh limes into the red onions.  This meal is a special meal that takes a lot of time, but is so delicious.  

Our families together (Blane and Liv went to bed)

The best part of the meal was when each of the members of the family told us how happy they were to have us in their home.  It was very kind, meaningful, generous.

Of course, I asked how Carlos made the meat.  At first he said that it is his secret, but then he told me.  Thank you Carlos and Celia!
