Yield: 2 servings
Cuisine: Mexican
Ingredients: 1.5 lbs thin-cut steak (such as flank or skirt); 2 tbsp olive oil; 1 tbsp minced garlic; 1 tsp garlic salt; 1 tsp chicken bouillon powder; 1/4 cup cilantro, roughly chopped; 1/4 white onion, sliced; 1 lemon, juiced; 1 bag (32 oz) frozen french fries; salt, to taste; 2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend; 1 cup guacamole, for topping; 1/4 cup Mexican crema, for drizzling

1

In a large bowl, combine the steak, olive oil, minced garlic, garlic salt, and chicken bouillon powder.

2

Add the chopped cilantro, sliced onion, and the juice of one lemon.

3

Mix everything together thoroughly with your hands to ensure the steak is evenly coated.

4

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the steak marinate for at least one hour.

5

Preheat your oven and spread the frozen french fries on a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake according to package directions until golden and crispy.

6

While the fries are baking, heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the marinated steak for a few minutes on each side until done to your liking.

7

Remove the cooked steak from the skillet, let it rest for a few minutes, then chop it into small, bite-sized pieces.

8

Once the fries are cooked, remove them from the oven and season with salt.

9

Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the hot fries.

10

Return the baking sheet to the oven for a few minutes, just until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

11

Transfer the cheesy fries to a serving plate.

12

Top the fries with the chopped carne asada.

13

Add a generous amount of guacamole over the steak.

14

Finish with a drizzle of Mexican crema and serve immediately.
