Ingredients
- 1 pound Carne Asada
- 1 lb bag frozen French fries
- 1½ cup cheddar cheese grated
Toppings
- ⅓ cup guacamole
- ⅓ cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons sliced pickled jalapenos
- ⅓ cup Pico de Gallo
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro diced
Instructions
- Make the carne asada according to the recipe included. Prepare and marinate the meat ahead of time so the meat can grill while the fries are baking.
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F or to heat according to directions on the French fries.
- Line a large baking tray with parchment paper or a silicone baking sheet and spread the fries out into a single layer.
- Bake the fries for 25-30 minutes or according to directions on the package, tossing the fries halfway through baking.
- Sprinkle the cheese on top of the fries and continue to bake an additional 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted.
- Top the fries with diced carne asada, scoops of guacamole and sour cream, fresh pico de Gallo, sliced jalapeños and diced cilantro.

Notes
- Short-Cut Options: Save some time and use store-bought guacamole and pico de gallo.
- Carne Asada: Use our recipe for Homemade Carne Asada. Or if you have a carniceria (Mexican meat market) near you, then grab some already marinated or prepared carne asada to grill up at home.
- Lighter Swaps: Switch out the sour cream for greek yogurt if desired. Or swap out the fries for a sweet potato version
