carne asada cheesesteak hoagies with chipotle hummus
“Embark on a flavor journey with our Carne Asada Cheesesteak Hoagies! Crafted for culinary enthusiasts, each bite delivers a fusion of bold tastes, transforming your dining experience into pure satisfaction.”
Today, we celebrate!
What’s the occasion you ask?
Well, let me fill you in on the deets. First, it’s almost Friday. Can I get a whut, whut? Second, in t-minus one week I will be flying to Portland, Oregon for the first time to attend the Indulge Conference. You guys! I am so giddy about visiting and eating in Portland, but haven’t a clue on where to go. Recs pa-lease?! Last, but not least…..drum rolllllllllll……..it’s Sabra National Hummus Day!
I don’t know about you, but I eat hummus daily. As in breakfast, lunch, dinner and every snack opportunity in between. A life sans hummus would be a scary, scary place, don’t you think? I am a huge fan of avocado hummus toasts for breakfasts, oh, and cheese with hummus for a snack. I luv, luv, luv, hummus on pizza...seriously, this recipe is one of my favs!
I realize there are a zillion food holidays (hello, they even have a liver & chopped onions day…gross), but I feel like a national day celebrating hummus is well warranted. To celebrate this chickpea-tastic day, I thought some spicy cheesesteak sammies would do the trick. Now, these aren’t your ordinary sammies. These fellows are stuffed with carne asada, roasted veggies, topped with a cheese sauce and finished with a dollop of chipotle hummus.Even the Philly cheesesteak is jelly.
So, if you love hummus as much as I do, Sabra will be giving away coupons today only. Visit their website for more details on how to enter!

Carne Asada Cheesesteak Hoagies with Chipolte Hummus
Ingredients:
for the carne asada:
1/3 cup olive oil
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 jalapeño pepper, deseeded and diced
1/2 cup cilantro, diced
2 limes juiced
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon paprika
1 1/2 tablespoons white vinegar
1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar
salt and pepper to taste
1.5 pounds flank steak
for the cheesesteaks:
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 yellow pepper, sliced thinly
1 orange pepper, sliced thinly
1 red pepper, sliced thinly
1 yellow onion, sliced thinly
4 hoagie buns
1 cup Sabra Chipotle Hummus
Cilantro, garnish
for the cheese sauce:
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup whole milk
3/4 cup pepper jack cheese, shredded
salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
for the cheesesteaks:
Preheat a large skillet to medium-high heat. Add the olive, yellow pepper, orange pepper, red pepper, yellow onion, and s&p. Saute until the veggies have softened about seven minutes. Remove skillet from heat. To assemble: Take a hoagie bun and stuff it with some of the Carne Asada slices and peppers. Next, pour some of the cheese sauce on top. Garnish with Chipotle hummus, cilantro, and queso fresco.
for the carne asada:
In a food processor, add the firs 11 ingredients. Blend until smooth. Place flank steak into a Ziploc bag and pour the Carne Asada sauce over the steak. Place the Ziploc bag in the fridge to marinate for at least 4 hours.
Once four hours have passed, preheat a grill to medium high heat. Grill the flank steak for about 4 minutes on the first side, flip, and grill additional two to three minutes. Remove from grill and let rest for five minutes before slicing. Once rested, slice steak into thin strips. Set aside.
for the cheese sauce:
In a medium saucepan preheat to medium heat, melt butter. Add flour and whisk, creating a roux. Pour milk into the saucepan and keep whisking so it doesn’t start to lump. Once slightly thickened, about three minutes, add the cheese and continue to whisk until desired consistency.
“In conclusion, our Carne Asada Cheesesteak Hoagies redefine the art of culinary bliss. Elevate your taste experience with each savory bite, a symphony of bold flavors crafted to delight your senses. Unleash the extraordinary and savor the unforgettable fusion of taste and satisfaction.”

Thanks, friend! I hope you are having a wonderful weekend!
Dude. DUDE!!!! Aside from the fact that I just had to pull myself off the ledge about missing you at Indulge, I love everything about this!!!!
I know! So bummed. But that means I need to visit MI soon!
Oh man, these look amazing. I never thought to add hummus to a cheesesteak like this but it sounds so good! I HAVE to try this out. Cheers to hummus day!
Thanks, Julia! Definitely a new fav!
A life without hummus would definitely be scary! These look so delicious, made even better by that hummus. It’s making me crave hummus now, is it bad to just eat it with a spoon?
Thanks so much, Annie!
Oh my gosh Lauren…..I need this in my life right away!!! Gorgeous.
Thanks, Heather! They were sooooo good!
Yay! So excited to hear you are going to be at Indulge! I bet there will be more sun in Portland than there is here in Colorado, which makes no sense at all. You know what makes sense though, eating one of these amazing hoagies for breakfast, lunch, and dinner! Love them!
No kidding! I swear we haven’t seen the sun in FOREVER!. Sigh. Hope you are having a great weekend!
Hummas day and Fridays are events worth celebrating! Looks delicious!
Oh my word! This is an amazing sandwich!!!
I really feel like someone should make hummus day a national holiday…complete with a day off so that we can spend our hours stuffing our faces with these hoagies!
