A great way to flavor steak for your next burrito bowl is with this easy recipe! We’re taking Chipotle’s steak flavors, and turning it into a super simple crockpot chipotle carne asada recipe. Start it in the morning, and enjoy it later in the day with all the fixings.
In a small bowl, add the olive oil, ancho chili powder, cumin, dried oregano, minced garlic, orange juice, lime juice, sea salt, and pepper. Stir to combine the wet ingredients together.
Into a large bowl or large ziploc bag, add the steak and pour the mixture over. Turn the steak a few times to fully coat it, and then allow it to marinade for at least 30 minutes, or overnight.
Into a crockpot, add the steak and any remaining marinade. Cook on LOW for 6-7 hours, or high for 3-4 hours. The carne asada meat is done when it easily pulls apart. You can shred the beef, or place it on a cutting board into smaller pieces.
Build your carne asada bowl by adding the flavorful beef, cilantro lime brown rice, black beans, pico de gallo, green onions, fresh cilantro, sour cream, and cotija cheese into a bowl. It makes the best carne asada tacos as well!
