Best Ever Carne Asada Marinade
This traditional Mexican carne asada marinade recipe will marinade 5 or 6 pounds of meat and can be easily halved or doubled. I've tried many carne asada recipes through the years, and this one outshines them all. The flavors are the most flavorful and authentic and the meat is pull-apart tender. I suggest marinating overnight for the best results. Muy delicioso!

Meatloaf on the Grill
For this meatloaf on the grill recipe, we use ground pork and ground turkey because we don't eat beef, but you can use any ground meat. This grilled meatloaf recipe is a fun way to cook a meatloaf that is great for a hot summer day when you don't want to turn on the oven. We use a charcoal grill. I usually don't measure the seasoning, so go by your own tastes.
