Ingredients:

  • 12 ounces Cooked (Leftover) Air Fryer Tri-Tip Roast, sliced

  • Pickled Red Onion
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup cider vinegar
  • 1/2 cup red wine vinegar
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 4-1/2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 small red onions, halved, thinly sliced
  • 6 tablespoons Carne Asada Marinade & Sauce, divided
  • 4 whole flatbreads (about 4 oz each)
  • 1-1/2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend
  • 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded, sliced
  • 1/2 cup chopped tomatoes
  • 1 avocado, pitted, sliced
  • 1/4 cup crumbled queso fresco cheese

Safe Handling Tips:

  • Wash hands with soap and water before cooking and always after touching raw meat.

  • Separate raw meat from other foods.
  • Wash all cutting boards, utensils, and dishes after touching raw meat.
  • Do not reuse marinades used on raw foods.
  • Wash all produce prior to use.
  • Cook beef until temperature reaches 145°F for medium rare steaks and roasts 160°F for ground beef.
  • Refrigerate food promptly.

Cooking:

1. Preheat oven to 425°F.

2. Combine water, vinegars, sugar, black pepper and salt in small saucepan. Bring to a boil; when sugar is dissolved, add onion. Simmer 2 to 3 minutes or until tender and brightly colored. Cool slightly. Cover and refrigerate. 

Cook's Tip: Pickled red onions can be made ahead of time and refrigerated in an airtight container.

3. In medium bowl, combine 4 tablespoons of marinade with cooked beef.

4. Place flatbreads on greased baking sheet. Sprinkle evenly with cheese, cooked beef, jalapeno and tomatoes. Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until flatbreads are browned. Top with pickled red onion, avocado and queso fresco. Drizzle with reserved marinade.

Cook's Tip: If flatbreads aren't available, substitute flour tortillas. Spray with oil prior to topping.
