Dodger Stadium Carne Asada

This is going in the Grilling Book for the next time we have guests. It sounds too good & like a nice home for some chipotles smouldering in the fridge. Time does not include overnight marinating. Recipe from Joseph Martin, executive chef, Levy Restaurants at Dodger Stadium through the LA Times. "At the stadium, the carne asada is served with corn tortillas, pico de gallo, tomatillo sauce, chopped onions, chopped cilantro, grilled whole serrano chiles and slices of lime." WooHoo!
