Carne’ Asada Fries Recipe

May 27, 2017 by Lisa Pinney

My son Daniel and I love to eat at a favorite Cali-Mex restaurant, Cactus Flower, here in Pensacola …

Thats where he introduced me to their Carne’ Asada Burrito!

It is absolute perfection!

Last week I attempted to recreate the steak at home and Daniel declared it a success!

I was then inspired to create our own recipe for Carne’ Asada Fries!

Begin by baking a bag of steak fries of your choosing…

Next…grill those wonderful marinated steaks…

Until they are perfect like this!

Slice the steak into thin strips and layer on top of the fries in a skillet…

I added some fresh Pico…

Then threw on some shredded Monterrey Jack cheese…

A bit of cilantro and green onions…

place the skillet in the oven for 10 minutes or so until the cheese is all melted…

Remove from oven and top with guacamole and sour cream…

Enjoy!!
