How To Make carne asada fries

  • Step 1
    To make the carne asada, add all ingredients except beef to the bowl of a food processor and process until blended.
  • Step 2
    Place half the meat slices in a large bowl and pour half the marinade over it; toss well to coat.
  • Step 3
    Transfer the meat to a large re-sealable plastic bag; repeat with remaining meat slices and marinade.
  • Step 4
    Transfer the bag to the fridge and marinate for 6 to 18 hours.
  • Step 5
    Remove the bag from the fridge and bring the meat to room temperature, about 30 minutes.
  • Step 6
    Meanwhile, turn the barbecue’s temperature to 450 - 500 degrees F and oil the grates. Place the meat on the grill and cook for 1 to 1 and a half minutes per side – don’t overcook.
  • Step 7
    Remove from the heat, loosely cover with foil, and let the meat slices rest for 2 minutes before cutting them into bite-sized pieces.
  • Step 8
    To assemble the dish: Cover the bottom of a plate or bowl with the cooked French fries and top with the meat pieces. Drizzle on the cheese sauce, spoon on the Pico de Gallo, add a big scoop of guacamole, and finish with sour cream.
  • Step 9
    Garnish with lime wedges and serve immediately.
