Your Abuela Knew What She Was Doing

Ingredientes

This marinade has been on every taquería menu and family asada forever. I just broke down why it works and made it performance ready.

Here’s what she was actually giving you 👇🏽

Palomilla/Top Sirloin — one of the leanest cut at your carnecería. 29g protein. 4g fat. Cheaper than skirt steak. Nobody in fitness is talking about it with the carne asada cut.

Fresh orange + lime juice — citric acid breaks down muscle fiber and tenderizes without destroying texture. 45 min max.

Garlic + serrano —anti-inflammatory. Boosts circulation. Your abuela wasn’t just cooking. She was healing.

Soy sauce + Maggi — this isn’t fusion. Northern Mexican kitchens have used this for generations and was a staple when i lived in Sinaloa. This is why the taquería version hits different than yours at home.

Together on one plate. 155 calories. 29g protein. 4g fat. 0 carbs. 😎

Your cultura built this. I just fixed the macros the way your Abuelita always intended ❤️
