Prep Time 25 min

Cook Time 15 min

Total Time 40 min

🥑 Avocado Jalapeño Dip

• 2 ripe avocados
• 1 garlic clove
• 1 handful fresh cilantro
• ½ lime, juiced
• ¼ cup sliced pickled jalapeños
• ¼ cup jalapeño juice
• ¼ cup sour cream
• Salt to taste
• Pinch of ground cumin
• ½ cup water, adjusted as needed for consistency

🥩 Carne Asada

• 3 lbs steak, finely chopped (ribeye or flank work well)
• 1 tbsp chili powder
• 1 tbsp lemon pepper
• 2 tsp onion powder
• 2 tsp garlic powder
• 2 tsp cumin
• 1 tsp oregano
• 1 tsp chipotle powder
• 1 tbsp salt, or to taste
• Juice of 1 orange
• Juice of 1 lime

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Make the dip: Mash the avocados, then stir in the garlic, cilantro, lime juice, pickled jalapeños, jalapeño juice, sour cream, salt, cumin, and water until smooth and creamy.
2. Season the steak: Finely chop the steak and toss it with chili powder, lemon pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, cumin, oregano, chipotle powder, salt, orange juice, and lime juice.
3. Let the meat marinate for at least 30 minutes if you have time.
4. Cook the steak in a very hot skillet or on a grill until well seared and cooked through.
5. Warm your tortillas, then build each taco with carne asada, avocado jalapeño dip, and any extra toppings you like.

Best move here: use a ripping hot pan and don’t overcrowd it so the steak gets real browning instead of steaming.
