Sopes de asada

Ingredientes

• 1 1/2 pounds flank or skirt steak (cut into thin slices)
• 2 Tablespoons carne asada seasoning (read notes)
• 1 medium onion (sliced)
• olive oil (as needed)
• 1 lime (juice)
• 16 small sopes
• 2 cups lettuce (shredded)
• 1 cup refried beans
• 1 1/2 cups pico de gallo
• queso fresco (or your favorite cheese)
• 1 1/2 cups guacamole
• salsa
• oil for frying (as needed)

Preparación

1. 1

   Place meat and onions on a plate and generously sprinkle with carne asada seasoning. Squeeze the juice of half a lime and toss for 1 minute.

2. 2

   Allow the beef to marinate for at least 1 hour or overnight.

3. 3

   Lightly oil a cast iron skillet or a grilling pan. Add the meat and onions in one layer.

4. 4

   Grill until the meat is done to your desired level of tenderness (read notes) and the onions are lightly golden but still with a crunch.

5. 5

   Remove the meat from the pan and cut it into small pieces. Return to the pan and mix with the onions. Set aside.

6. 6

   Heat a bit of oil in a large frying pan and lightly fry the sopes on both sides. Place them on a plate lined with paper towels to remove excess oil.

7. 7

   Spread a good spoonful of refried beans on each sope and top with carne asada and onions.

8. 8

   Pile with shredded lettuce, pico de gallo, and guacamole.

9. 9

   Finish with a good sprinkle of queso fresco and serve with your favorite salsa.
