Preparation Steps

Prepare Carne Asada
Season the carne asada with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Grill the carne asada over medium-high heat until cooked to your liking, about 5-7 minutes on each side. Remove and let rest before slicing thinly.

Grill Jalapeños
While the meat is resting, grill the jalapeños until charred and softened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and slice in half, removing seeds if desired for less heat.

Melt the Cheese
In a cast-iron skillet or an oven-safe dish, combine Monterey Jack and Cheddar cheese. Place the skillet in the oven and broil on high for 3-5 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
