Carne Asada Fries

Ingredients

Flank steak

1 pound

Frozen French fries

1 bag (about 2 pounds)

Cheddar cheese

1 cup, shredded

Guacamole

1 cup, homemade or store-bought

Sour cream

1 cup

Salsa

1 cup

Cilantro

1/4 cup, chopped

Lime juice

2 tablespoons

Orange juice

2 tablespoons

Garlic

2 cloves, minced

Chili powder

1 tablespoon

Cumin

1 teaspoon

Salt

1 teaspoon

Black pepper

1/2 teaspoon

Instructions

1. In a bowl, whisk together lime juice, orange juice, minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
2. Add the flank steak to the marinade, ensuring it is well coated. Cover and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight for more flavor.
3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated steak for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired doneness. Remove from grill and let it rest for about 5 minutes before slicing it into thin strips.
4. Meanwhile, preheat the oven according to the instructions on the frozen French fries package. Bake the fries until they are crispy and golden brown, typically about 20-25 minutes.
5. In a large oven-safe dish, spread the cooked French fries in an even layer. Top with the sliced carne asada and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly across the top.
6. Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
7. Remove from the oven and generously garnish with dollops of guacamole, sour cream, and salsa. Finish with a sprinkle of chopped cilantro.
8. Serve immediately and enjoy this delightful dish with friends and family!
