📝 Ingredients

• 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)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Place 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. 2Allow the beef to marinate for at least 1 hour or overnight.
3. 3Lightly oil a cast iron skillet or a grilling pan. Add the meat and onions in one layer.
4. 4Grill 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. 5Remove the meat from the pan and cut it into small pieces. Return to the pan and mix with the onions. Set aside.
6. 6Heat 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. 7Spread a good spoonful of refried beans on each sope and top with carne asada and onions.
8. 8Pile with shredded lettuce, pico de gallo, and guacamole.
9. 9Finish with a good sprinkle of queso fresco and serve with your favorite salsa.
