Bold, street-style chopped beef piled onto crispy, lacy melted Monterey Jack cheese shells, topped with a punchy garlic-lime crema. Pure food truck energy in a low-carb format.
Ingredients
2 servings
Carne Asada
Flank Steak400 g
Chili Powder1 tsp
Cumin0.5 tsp
Garlic Powder0.5 tsp
Salt0.5 tsp
Avocado Oil1 tbsp
Cheese Shells
Monterey Jack Cheese150 g
Lime Crema
Sour Cream4 tbsp
Lime Juice1 tbsp
Cilantro2 tbsp
Method
Carne Asada
1
Pat the flank steak dry. Season both sides with chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and salt. Heat avocado oil in a cast iron skillet over high heat until smoking. Sear the steak for 3 to 4 minutes per side to get a hard char. Remove, let rest, and chop into very fine street-taco-sized pieces.
Lime Crema
2
In a small bowl, whisk together the sour cream, lime juice, and finely chopped cilantro until smooth and runny enough to drizzle.
Cheese Shells
3
Wipe the skillet and return to medium-high heat. Divide the shredded Monterey Jack cheese into four equal mounds in the pan. Let them melt and bubble until the edges turn golden brown and crispy, about 2 minutes. Carefully flip the cheese disks with a spatula and cook another 30 seconds. Remove and immediately drape each disk over a rolling pin or thick handle to shape into taco shells as they cool and crisp up.
Plate
4
Fill the crispy cheese shells with the warm chopped carne asada. Drizzle generously with the lime crema and serve immediately while hot.
