Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Start by thinly slicing the carne asada against the grain. Dice the onion, chop the cilantro, and slice the poblano peppers in half to remove the seeds.

  2. 2

    Cook the Bacon

    In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet and set aside, leaving the bacon fat in the pan.

  3. 3

    Caramelize the Onion

    In the same skillet with the bacon fat, add the diced onion. Cook over medium heat until the onions are soft and caramelized, about 10 minutes.

  4. 4

    Cook the Carne Asada

    Increase the heat to medium-high and add the sliced carne asada to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes or until the steak is browned and cooked to your liking.

  5. 5

    Add the Poblano Peppers

    Add the sliced poblano peppers to the skillet with the carne asada and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the peppers are tender.

  6. 6

    Combine with Bacon

    Crumble the cooked bacon and mix it into the carne asada and vegetable mixture. Stir to combine well.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Remove from heat and serve the mixture hot. Top each serving with a dollop of guacamole and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.
