Loaded Carne Asada Fries: An Incredible Ultimate Recipe


  • Author: Olivia
  • Total Time: 34 minute

Ingredients

– 1 pound carne asada (flank steak or skirt steak)
– 4 cups frozen French fries
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 teaspoon chili powder
– 1 teaspoon cumin
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a combination)
– 1 cup guacamole
– 1 cup sour cream
– 1 cup pico de gallo or diced tomatoes
– 1/2 cup sliced jalapeños (optional)
– Fresh cilantro, for garnish (optional)


Instructions

Creating Loaded Carne Asada Fries is as easy as following these simple steps:

1. Prepare the Fries: Preheat your oven according to the instructions on the frozen fries package. Spread the fries evenly on a baking sheet and bake until golden brown and crispy.

2. Cook the Carne Asada: While the fries are baking, season the carne asada with olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

3. Grill or Sear the Steak: Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the carne asada for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness.

4. Let it Rest: Once cooked, remove the carne asada from the heat and let it rest for about 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute.

5. Slice the Steak: After resting, slice the carne asada against the grain into thin strips.

6. Melt the Cheese: Once the fries are done baking, remove them from the oven and sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the top. Return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.

7. Assemble the Dish: Remove the cheesy fries from the oven. Top with the sliced carne asada, guacamole, sour cream, pico de gallo, and jalapeños, if using.

8. Garnish: Finish with a sprinkle of fresh cilantro for a burst of flavor.

9. Serve Immediately: Enjoy your Loaded Carne Asada Fries while they are hot and crispy!
