Notes
Variations
We like the spicier kick of Herdez© Casera Hot, but you can use any of their casera varieties. I recommend only Herdez brand for Authentic taste. This makes enough marinade for several flank steaks reserve off enough for the quantity of steak you are cooking and refrigerate the remaining.
