chipotle pepper in adobo

Step 1

In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, orange juice, garlic, cumin, paprika, chili powder, salt, and pepper.

Step 2

Add steak to a shallow dish and pour marinade over it. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, up to 8 hours.

Step 3

Preheat air fryer to 425°F. Toss potatoes with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Roast for 20–25 minutes until golden and crispy, flipping halfway.

Step 4

In a skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil and sauté bell peppers and onion for about 6–8 minutes, until slightly charred but tender. Season with salt and pepper.

Step 5

Heat a grill or skillet over high heat. Cook steak 3–5 minutes per side depending on thickness and desired doneness. Let it rest for 5 minutes, then slice thinly against the grain.

Step 6

Blend or stir all sauce ingredients together until smooth. Adjust spice and tang to taste.

Step 7

Assemble your plate with a base of crispy roasted potatoes, then layer with fajita veggies and sliced carne asada. Drizzle with chipotle lime sauce and serve.

For best results, marinate the steak overnight to allow the flavors to fully penetrate.

Use a meat thermometer to ensure the steak is cooked to your desired doneness.

If you don’t have an air fryer, you can roast the potatoes in the oven at 425°F for the same amount of time.

Adjust the spice level of the chipotle lime sauce by adding more or less adobo sauce.

Slice the steak against the grain to ensure tender pieces.
