Carne Asada Fries
What’s better than a plate of nachos or fresh hot French fries? The marriage of the two. Taking steak and potatoes to a different level, Carne Asada fries will satisfy several cravings. Of course, Carne Asada (marinated beef sliced thinly and grilled) is the centerpiece of this meal. However, the crispy crinkle-cut fries replace tortilla chips in this tasty recipe.
