Why it works
Carne asada tacos are steak pairings lightened by lime, salsa, cilantro, and tortilla. Iberian Tempranillo works here because its savory red fruit, oak polish, and moderate tannin feel comfortable with grilled meat, paprika, lamb, and slow-cooked sauces. The important move is giving tannin enough protein or fat to soften against, staying in the same weight class as the dish, so the wine supports the food instead of becoming a separate event.
