Instructions

  • Combine all the spice rub ingredients in a small bowl. Generously rub all over the flank steak. Place in the bottom of a slow cooker, top with the diced peppers and onions. Cover and cook on LOW for 6 to 8 hours.
  • Combine the Avocado Pico de Gallo ingredients in a bowl, and gently stir to combine. Cover and place in fridge until ready to use.
  • Once carne asada is done, use two forks to shred the steak (should fall apart very easily).

Assemble Nachos:

  • Place a pile of tortilla chips on a plate, cover with the hot carne asada, some shredded cheese, a nice helping of avocado pico, and some sour cream. Enjoy!
