Carne Asada Fries

 

Delicious Carne-Asada-Fries-@createdbydiane

There is nothing like a hot skillet full of tasty Carne Asada Fries

I don’t like when fries get cold,

serving them in a heated skillet, keeps them hot and crispy!

I like my fries piled high

full of deliciously marinaded Carne Asada,

topped with Cotija Cheese

jalapeños

and of course sour cream and salsa!

toppings are key here, feel free to pile on all your favorites

 

cooking carne asada in a cast iron skillet

You can grill the meat or cook it in a cast iron skillet to cook it up deliciously crispy. Don’t overcrowd the pan, or the marinade will steam the meat.  The meat cooks quickly in small batches. Cook the meat while the fries bake.

PeakFection Salsa from Kroger

Having everything prepped and ready to go when the meat and fries are cooked is essential.  I placed sour cream and the PeakFection Salsa in disposable piping bags to make it easy do top the dish with when it’s ready to serve.

I’m partnering with Kroger to bring you this recipe using their PeakFection Red Salsa.

PeakFection Salsa is made with fresh ingredients that are captured at the peak of perfection, using a special cold water process so they stay fresher longer and it’s fresh and ready when you need it.

Carne Asada is great in tacos, burritos, on top of nachos and it’s pretty hard to resist eating the whole plate full whatever plans you have for it.

To keep the food hot, heat a cast iron skillet just as all the food is ready. Place the french fries on the bottom, top it with the Carne Asada, then pile on all the yummy topping you can think of!

 

THIS is the skillet I use and love and I use it so much I have 3 of them and more in other sizes too, it’s a kitchen must have.
