Ingredients

  • 1 lb shaved beef

Marinade Ingredients

  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • ¼ cup lime juice
  • 3 tablespoons orange juice
  • 1 tablespoon cumin
  • ½ cup chopped cilantro
  • 2 heads fresh garlic
  • ½ a jalapeno diced
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper

Stuffed Avocaods

  • 3 large avocados
  • 1 cup shredded Mexican blend cheese
  • 2 roma tomatoes chopped
  • sour cream
  • extra slices of lime for topping

Instructions

  • In a medium mixing bowl combine the marinade ingredients and whisk well.
  • Place your shaved steak in a shallow bowl or baking dish and pour the marinade over the top.
  • Cover and place in the fridge for a minimum of 30 minutes.
  • After the marinating is done, preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
  • In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium high heat and add the steak (drain the marinade from the seak first).
  • Begin to brown the steak, it won't take very long. Maybe 5-7 minutes until you see no more pink. Turn off the heat.
  • Cut your avocaods in half and remove the pit. Place them in a baking dish.
  • Sprinkle the avocado halves with salt and pepper, add equal amounts of shredded cheese to each avocaod.
  • Top with the shaved steak, chopped tomato, and one last sprinkle of cheese.
  • Place the avocaods in the oven for 5-6 minutes until cheese is melted.
  • Remove and top with sour cream and extra cilantro.
  • Top with any other toppings you like! I used a corn salsa and lime juice.
