Carne Asada Fries

Ingredients:

3 russet potatoes
1 tsp garlic salt
1/2 tsp ground pepper
1 tsp onion flakes
1/2 tsp cumin
1 tbsp olive oil
2 avocados
2 tbsp cilantro
2 cups chopped carne asada (recipe below)
1 cup cheese, cheddar, pepperjack or quesadilla
1/2 cup pico de gallo
salt and pepper to taste

For the Carne Asada:
2 lb flank steak
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 jalapeno, minced
1 cup cilantro, finely chopped
2 limes, juiced
1 orange, juiced
1/2 cup olive oil
Salt and pepper

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

Peel the potatoes and slice into thick wedges. Each potato should yield about 8 wedges. Place the wedges into a plastic bag and add the garlic salt, pepper, onion flakes, cumin and olive oil. Give the bag a gentle shake until the potatoes are coated with the seasoning.

Lay the potatoes on a parchment lined baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes. Remove from oven and flip the potatoes over and let them bake for another 20-25 minutes until they are golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.

While the potatoes are cooling, mash together the avocados and cilantro in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper as needed.

Place the baked steak fried onto a plate. Cover with the carne asada, cheese, pico de gallo and finally the guacamole. Serve immediately.

For the carne asada:
Place a 2 lb flank steak in a large baking dish and cover with the marinade for 4-5 hours.

Heat a grill over high heat and grill the flank steak for 5 minutes on each side. Remove from the grill and let rest before slicing.

Serves 4.
