Jalapeño Lime Marinated Flank Steak Salad

Step 1

Preheat the air fryer to 400F.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine avocado oil, paprika, pepper, sugar, cilantro, garlic, jalapeño, and lime zest. Add the steak and toss to coat. Marinate for 30 minutes.

Step 3

Air fry for 10 minutes, flipping the steak halfway through. When the steak is finished cooking, remove it from the air fryer and squeeze lime juice from half a lime over it. Let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. When ready, slice the steak into bite sized pieces.

Step 4

To make the steak in the oven, preheat the broiler on high, place the steak on a baking sheet on the top rack and cook for 6 minutes for medium rare. Squeeze lime juice from half a lime over the steak and allow it to rest for 10 minutes before slicing

Step 5

Add the avocado, greek yogurt, lime juice, cilantro, olive oil, vinegar, water, and fresh cracked pepper to a food processor or blender and process on high for 1-2 minutes or until smooth and creamy. If you like your dressing thinner, you can add 1 tbsp of water at a time until the desired consistency is reached (I ended up using about 4 tablespoons).

Step 6

Add kale to a large mixing bowl and add half of the avocado dressing, along with a pinch of salt and freshly cracked black pepper. Using your hands, massage the dressing into the kale for a minute or so until the kale reduces in volume and gets softer.

Step 7

Mix in the steak, tomatoes, corn, shredded cheese, avocado, tortilla strips, and the rest of the dressing.
