Carne Asada Fries are a classic combo down around the southern border of CA. This is a simple meal with few ingredients

Starts with marinating a flank steak in lime juice, lime zest, cumin, chopped cilantro, tequila, and olive oil.

The Yukon Gold french fries go into the MAK at 450. Forgot to take a pic!

Out of the marinade I hit the flank with DSSR and BPS Jalapeno Seasoned salt then onto a hot grill for a quick sear with some oak pellets.

The steak is done, time to rest and wait for the MAK fries to finish.

Fries are done. Sliced and cubed up the flank steak.

Plating was simple. Start with some crispy Yukon Gold french fries on the bottom then throw on some juicy steak morsels then some grated cheddar and jack cheese. Put it under a broiler to melt the cheese. Top with some fresh homemade guacamole, sour cream and Tapatio hot sauce. Add some pico de gallo on the side. That's it! Simple and delicious! Open a cold beer and chow down on a classic CA/Mexico border meal!
