When FOOD4LESS®​ asked me to create a recipe for Mother’s Day, I immediately thought of 3 things…

  1. I had to call my mom! My mom is the best cook I know. She is always impressing us and fulfilling all of our family cravings with her food. I learned all my tips and tricks from her. I can’t think of a better person to develop a recipe with!
  2. It has to be grilled. I am a mover and shaker in the kitchen but when it comes to the grill, my husband is king and I can’t think of a better way to celebrate Mother’s Day than my husband grilling for me! What’s more perfect for Mother’s Day than Dad cooking on the grill!?
  3. FOOD4LESS®​ has so many fresh products at great prices, that this will be so easy to put together! This recipe will be healthy, packed with flavor for not a lot of money, minimal effort and oh so satisfying! So, let’s get into it! Check out FOOD4LESS®​ for their weekly deals, too!

Carne Asada-Adobada x L.A. Mama and her Mama.

Carne Asada is traditionally a grilled flap steak, sometimes marinated and sometimes just seasoned with salt and pepper. Carne Adobada is traditionally pork marinated in a red chile marinade with various spices, it can be braised or grilled or when it’s cooked on a spit or “trompo” it’s called “Al-Pastor”. Both are my favorite. Often when given the choice, I will pick both, one of each… Just kidding, I always pick TWO of each! Dos de Asada y dos De Al Pastor! So I thought why not combine them!? A beautiful cut of flap meat marinated with rich adobada spices and the classic red chile. For this recipe you will need to head to your local FOOD4LESS® to pick up these fresh ingredients. I made you a handy shopping list to help! Check your pantry before you go and check off the items you already have to make it easier! I will be preparing 2.5 lbs. of flap meat, you can adjust your recipe accordingly

*Mama tip! When picking limes, choose fruit that has thin smooth peel vs. thick and bumpy. The more give or squish it has the more juice it will have!

  • Once softened, drain and put softened peppers in the blender, making sure you remove any stems. You wont need the water, so you can toss that.

  • In the blender also add Simply Orange Juice, Onion, Garlic, Clove, Oregano, Thyme, Bay Leaf, Salt and Pepper and Red Wine Vinegar. Blend until Smooth

That’s it! That was the hardest part! After it’s been marinating for at least 1 hour (best overnight!) take your Flap Meat to the grill and grill along side slices of fresh pineapple. Chop into cubes or slice thinly on the bias and build yourself 2 or 4 of the tastiest Asada-Adobada taco’s! You can use any tortilla you like! Top with the grilled pineapple, fresh cilantro and onion and maybe a squeeze of lime.

This recipe has brought me and my mom closer chatting about ingredients and thinking about the flavor combinations. It also let me have a moment with my own daughter teaching her how to pick limes while shopping at FOOD4LESS®! This recipe even let me enjoy a little time off while my husband grills, and of course a moment of bliss eating it! I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I enjoyed creating it!
