  • Preheat oven to 350℉.
    Dice carne asada into small bite-sized pieces and toss with 2 tablespoons carne asada seasoning. If you marinated the carne asada, only use 1 tablespoon of seasoning.
    Spray a skillet with cooking spray and cook carne asada over high heat until pieces are cooked through. This should only take a minute or two. Because the steak is already thinly sliced, it will cook very quickly.
