Prep time: 4 hours to overnight

Cook time: 35 minutes

Serves 4 servings

Ingredients for carne asada marinade:

  • 2 lbs of skirt steak (trimmed of membrane and connective tissues) or flank
  • 1/3 cup of EVOO
  • ¼ cup of fresh lime juice
  • ¾ cup of fresh orange juice
  • ¼ cup of red wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar
  • 1 ½ tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 6 garlic cloves, finely minced
  • ¾ cup of cilantro, chopped
  • ½ red onion, finely diced
  • ¾ tsp coarse black pepper
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 Tbsp dried oregano
  • ¼ cup of Worcestershire

Directions:

  1. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients and allow the meat to marinate up to 4 hours or overnight covered in the refrigerator.
  2. Allow the meat to come to room temperature for up to 30 minutes; this is the perfect time to prepare your grill. If using skirt, grill each side of the meat for 5 minutes or until desired doneness; flank will take a little longer per each side as it’s a thicker cut of meat.
  3. Once done to liking, transfer the meat to plate and allow to rest for 5 minutes; finely chop the meat against the grain and set aside.

Building the fries Ingredients:

  • 1 bag of 26 oz fries (any style will do but typically the thin-cut or fast food style fries are commonly used)
  • Prepared guacamole (see recipe)
  • Plain Greek yogurt or sour cream
  • 16 oz bag of shredded Mexican cheese
  • Oil for frying

Directions:

  1. Cook fries according to bag until crispy; drain on paper towels and prepare your plate or serving dish.
  2. Place a handful of fries on plate, sprinkle ¼ to ½ cup of cheese over the fries. Layering; next add your carne asada, guacamole, and Greek yogurt. Serve immediate and enjoy!.
