Carne Asada Fries

Ingredients

  • 1 pkg. Seasoned Fries cooked and crispy
  • 2 lbs. steak sliced thin, cooked to medium
  • 1 packet Wicked Tasty Taco Carne Asada Sauce
  • Toppings: Diced tomatoes, pico de gallo, pickled onions, Cotija cheese, green onions, cheese sauce, sliced olives, cilantro, guacamole, jalapeno & sour cream.

Directions

Cook your fries according to package directions. I like my fries crispy so I tend to cook them just a little longer.

Warm your meat, and add the package of Carne Asada sauce. Stir to combine and cover all the meat. Set aside.

Make your cheese sauce. (below)

Assemble your fries:

Drizzle the cheese sauce, on the fries. Top with your favorite toppings. Ideas listed above. Eat. Then eat some more.
