Ingredients
Scale
- 1 bag of French fries
- 1 lb Carne asada (grilled and sliced beef)
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 cup Guacamole
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 1 cup Pico de gallo
- Jalapeños, sliced (to taste)
- Fresh Cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Cook the French fries according to package instructions or fry them in oil until they are perfectly golden brown and crispy.
- Grill the Carne Asada while the fries are cooking, seasoning it with salt and pepper, and grill until cooked through, about 4-5 minutes on each side. Let it rest before slicing thinly.
- Create the base by transferring the French fries to a serving platter.
- Layer the sliced carne asada over the crispy fries.
- Melt the cheddar cheese by sprinkling it over the meat and broiling until melted, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the toppings with dollops of guacamole and sour cream, followed by pico de gallo, jalapeños, and cilantro.
- Serve immediately to enjoy hot!
Notes
For the crispiest fries, pat them dry after frying. Letting carne asada rest before slicing helps retain juices.
