Carne Asada Steak

Carne Asada is Mexican-style grilled steak that has been marinated with the robust flavours of cumin, chipotle peppers, and a whole lotta citrus. These flavours taste even better with a hot char from the grill, so fire it up! Thinly slice and then wrap steak slices in tacos or burritos, make sandwiches in crusty buns with Roasted Garlic Aioli, or lay slices across a bed of spinach with creamy Caesar Dressing. Our Carne Asada Marinade Mix is a hot, fiery blend, so kiddos may want to tame the heat with Guacamole or Greek yogurt.

Cauliflower Rice with Sticky Orange Sauce

We're making things easy by using frozen riced cauliflower, which is not only convenient but also budget friendly (have you seen the cost of fresh?!). Whether you're aiming to add more veggies to your table or simply looking for a delicious twist on rice, this dish has you covered. While your cauliflower gets cozy in the microwave, fire up the stovetop and whip up a zesty, sweet and sticky orange sauce to take this side dish over the top!
