Cook Time 30 minutes
Total Time 45 minutes
Servings 5 Mulitas

Ingredients

Steak

  • 1 1/2 lbs flank steak
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Marinade

  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 3 garlic cloves minced

Mulitas

  • 10 to to rtillas corn or flour, 6-inch
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 cup sliced onion
  • cilantro
  • 1-2 avocados mashed
  • 1/2 cup diced tomatoes I used red and green
  • 2 cups Monterey jack cheese shredded

Instructions

  • Slice the steak into thin strips: Cut the steak into thin strips against the grain.
  • Make the marinade: Whisk together 1/3 cup olive oil, soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, cumin, and minced garlic in a large bowl.
  • Marinade the steak: Place the sliced steak in the marinade and coat thoroughly. Cover in plastic wrap and marinate for 30 minutes to 1 hour (If you marinate it longer, place it in the fridge).
  • Make carne asada: Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, take the steak from the marinade (discard the liquid), and add to the skillet. Stir-fry for about 5 minutes until cooked through. (If there is too much liquid during cooking, you can scoop it out.)
  • Assemble mulitas: Brush the tortillas with oil on both sides. Place one tortilla in the skillet, sprinkle cheese evenly on top, and then add about a layer of carne asada, and sliced onions. Add more cheese, and then place a tortilla on top. Cook the bottom until golden brown for about 1-2 minutes, and then carefully turn to the opposite side and continue to cook until golden brown. Remove the cooked mulita to a plate.
  • Add toppings: Gently peel the top tortilla and add mashed avocado, diced tomatoes, and cilantro. Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas, cheese, and the filling. Serve warm with your favorite toppings.
