METHOD
Mix all the Carne asada marinade ingredients together in a large dish and mix well. Put the steak in and make sure it is completely coated, then cover with cling film and leave refrigerated for at least 4 hours.
After the 4 hours remove the steak from the fridge to come to room temperature.
Prepare the pico de gallo: dice the tomato and onion very finely and put into a bowl. Squeeze the lime over and chop the coriander finely and stir through. Season well.
Prepare the guacamole: mash the avocado with a fork then crush in the garlic, squeeze in the lime, stir in the chopped coriander and season well.
Cook the rice. When it has cooked leave it steaming in the pan and heat a large wok with some oil.
Heat up the bbq to grill the meat. Grill the meat on the bbq, about 3 minutes on each side should do. Take off and leave to rest whilst you finish the rice.
Chop the onion finely and fry until soft, then add in the crushed garlic and chopped jalapeno. Add the spices and cook for a minute, stirring. Squeeze in the tomato puree then add the rice back in and stir all the ingredients in well. Add a little water if necessary. Drain the beans then add them in to the rice stirring well.
Slice the meat into thin slices making sure you cut against the grain.
Heat the tortillas on both sides then assemble with the rice and beans, guacamole, pico de gallo, steak, a sprinkling of grated cheese and a dollop of sour cream. Also add any hot sauce if you fancy!
Eat and enjoy.
