Prepare the carne asada according to the recipe. Grill the carne asada until it is cooked to your preferred doneness. Let it rest for 5-10 minutes, then slice it against the grain and chop into small bite-sized pieces. For leftover carne asada, reheat the meat in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through (about 2-3 minutes). Reheated meat will develop crispy edges, adding extra texture to your tacos.
Warm the tortillas using a dry skillet or comal over medium-high heat. Cook the tortillas one at a time for about 30 seconds on each side until they are soft and pliable with light charring. Alternatively, heat corn tortillas over a medium-low gas stove flame until lightly charred on the edges, about 10 seconds per side.
Assemble the tacos by placing about 2 tablespoons of chopped carne asada onto each warm tortilla. Top with a sprinkle of diced onion and chopped cilantro.
Serve immediately with lime wedges for squeezing over the top just before eating.
