is not usually a trait ascribed to carne asada, but when it&#8217;s encased\u00a0 in a tortilla with nothing else (no cheese, no salsa, no chile, no onions&#8230;), it&#8217;s boring.\u00a0 For an essayist of the New Mexico culinary experience, it was one of those &#8220;I&#8217;m not with her&#8221;
