Speedi-Style Carne Asada with Chipotle Rice and Peppers
Description
Traditional Mexican carne asada meets modern convenience in this flavourful dish that combines perfectly seasoned grilled beef with aromatic rice. The Ninja Speedi's dual-cooking capability allows the meat to develop a delicious crust while the rice steams below.
The marinade infuses the beef with citrus and garlic flavours, while the Speedi's air crisp function creates charred edges reminiscent of traditional grill marks. This recipe delivers authentic taste with minimal effort.

Note
Extra Tips: For best results, slice the meat against the grain and ensure pieces are similar in thickness for even cooking.
Don't overcrowd the crisping tray as this can lead to steaming rather than proper browning. If cooking larger quantities, work in batches.
The rice can be enhanced with chopped coriander and a squeeze of lime juice before serving.
