Author: Gaby

Ingredients

  • 3 russet potatoes
  • 1 tsp garlic salt
  • 1/2 tsp ground pepper
  • 1 tsp onion flakes
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 avocados
  • 2 tbsp cilantro
  • 2 cups chopped carne asada recipe below
  • 1 cup cheese cheddar, pepperjack or quesadilla
  • 1/2 cup pico de gallo
  • salt and pepper to taste

For the Carne Asada:

  • 2 lb flank steak
  • 4 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 jalapeno minced
  • 1 cup cilantro finely chopped
  • 2 limes juiced
  • 1 orange juiced
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • Salt and pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • Peel the potatoes and slice into thick wedges. Each potato should yield about 8 wedges. Place the wedges into a plastic bag and add the garlic salt, pepper, onion flakes, cumin and olive oil. Give the bag a gentle shake until the potatoes are coated with the seasoning.
  • Lay the potatoes on a parchment lined baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes. Remove from oven and flip the potatoes over and let them bake for another 20-25 minutes until they are golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.
  • While the potatoes are cooling, mash together the avocados and cilantro in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper as needed.
  • Place the baked steak fried onto a plate. Cover with the carne asada, cheese, pico de gallo and finally the guacamole. Serve immediately.

For Carne Asada:

  • Place a 2 lb flank steak in a large baking dish and cover with the marinade for 4-5 hours.
  • Heat a grill over high heat and grill the flank steak for 5 minutes on each side. Remove from the grill and let rest before slicing.
