Best Carne Asada Seasoning
I loveeee carne asada flavor. The seasonings come together in the best, tangy marinade that I knew would be perfect for these stuffed baked avocados with shaved beef.
Ingredients
- soy sauce
- olive oil
- lime juice
- orange juice
- cumin
- cilantro
- fresh garlic
- jalapeno
- salt and pepper
Mix those all together to create the best carne asada seasoning for these avocado tacos!
Traditional Carne Asada
Traditional carne asada is made with skirt steak or flank steak that is marinated and grilled.
That is a delicious way to do it! You could even marinate a whole flank steak, slice, and stuff the avocados with it.
But for this quick version, I picked up some shaved steak, which is very thinly cut. It marinates quicker and cooks so fast!
Other Ways To Use Shaved Steak
Ever since finding shaved steak at the store, I love using it for a quick-cooking weeknight meal. Here are a couple more suggestions for it!
Carne Asada Nachos
Marinate the shaved steak and top a pile of nachos with it! Perfect slices of steak in every bite of nachos.
Top with some garden fresh salsa and sour cream!
Carne Asada Quesadilla
Why not take the marinated carne asada steak and turn it into carne asada quesadillas?! Delicious steak quesadillas with cheese are always a crowd-pleaser.
Are Baked Avocados Good?
Cooked avocado may seem a little odd, typically I enjoy them cold or room temperature. But by cooking the avocado, it turns almost buttery!
The soft, creamy texture of the avocado is delicious paired with lots of flavors. You could stuff them with an egg, ground beef, or even chicken!

Toppings For Baked Stuffed Avocados
When topping these steak-stuffed avocados, I went with "less is more."
The carne asada marinated beef is so flavorful, I didn't want to overpower it! So for the toppings, I went lighter...
- Corn Salsa - homemade and a Chipolte copy-cat recipe for their corn salsa!
- Chopped tomatoes
- Shredded cheese
- Lime juice
- Cilantro
These flavors are mild but delicious and compliment the carne asada so well.
