Carne Asada

PLT (Pico de Gallo, Lettuce, Tomato)

Assembly

Method

Marinate Carne Asada

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, mix together the olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Steak

    Place the flank steak in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it is well-coated. Seal or cover, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

Make Pico de Gallo

  1. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, combine the diced tomato, red onion, chopped cilantro, and minced jalapeño. Mix well and set aside to let the flavors meld.

Cook the Carne Asada

  1. 4

    Grill the Steak

    Preheat your grill to high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade and discard the excess marinade. Grill the steak for about 5-7 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness.

  2. 5

    Rest the Steak

    Once cooked, remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it against the grain into thin strips.

Assemble the PLT

  1. 6

    Layer Ingredients

    On each tortilla, layer the shredded lettuce, sliced carne asada, pico de gallo, and avocado slices.

  2. 7

    Wrap and Serve

    Fold the tortilla over the fillings, wrap it up, and serve immediately.
