Ingredients

• Zucchini - 2 medium, spiralized

• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Chili powder - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Lime juice - 1 tablespoon
• Fresh cilantro - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Avocado - 1 small, sliced
• Cotija cheese - 30 grams, crumbled

Steps

1. In a bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt, black pepper, and lime juice to create a marinade.
2. Add the flank steak to the marinade, ensuring it's well-coated, and let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
3. While the steak is marinating, spiralize the zucchini into noodles and set aside.
4. Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat and cook the marinated flank steak for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until desired doneness. Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing thinly.
5. In the same pan, add the spiralized zucchini noodles and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until just tender.
6. Plate the zucchini noodles and top with the sliced carne asada.
7. Garnish with chopped cilantro, sliced avocado, and crumbled Cotija cheese before serving.
