Ingredients
- 1 pound Carne Asada (or thinly sliced steak)
- 2 tablespoons carne asada seasoning (see notes below)
- 10 ounces Restaurant Style Tortilla Chips
- 2 cups shredded Mexican cheese
Carne Asada Marinade (optional)
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup beef broth
- 1/2 cup orange juice
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1/4 cup chopped onion
- 4 ounces diced chiles
- 1/2 bunch chopped cilantro
- 1/2 teaspoon ground Mexican oregano
- salt and black pepper (to taste)
Additional Toppings
- Pico de Gallo
- guacamole
- cilantro
- sour cream
- limes (for garnish)
- sliced jalapeno (for garnish)
Instructions
- Marinate carne asada (optional) by combining marinade ingredients and placing in a Ziplock freezer bag. Marinate for at least an hour.
- Preheat oven to 350℉.Dice carne asada into small bite-sized pieces and toss with 2 tablespoons carne asada seasoning. If you marinated the carne asada, only use 1 tablespoon of seasoning. Spray a skillet with cooking spray and cook carne asada over high heat until pieces are cooked through. This should only take a minute or two. Because the steak is already thinly sliced, it will cook very quickly.
- Place a single layer of chips in a wide oven-proof skillet or on a baking sheet.
- Evenly spread cooked carne asada over the top of the chips, then cover evenly with cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 4-5 minutes or until cheese has melted.
- Carefully remove from oven and top with additional toppings. Serve immediately.
