Instructions<\/h2>\n

1. Marinate the Carne Asada:<\/h3>\n

In a bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, garlic, cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper.<\/p>\n

Add the steak, coating it evenly. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours.<\/p>\n

2. Prepare the Fries:<\/h3>\n

Preheat your oven to 425\u00b0F (220\u00b0C).<\/p>\n

Spread the fries in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake according to package instructions (or until golden and crispy, about 20-25 minutes), seasoning with smoked paprika halfway through.<\/p>\n

Once cooked, sprinkle the shredded cheese over the fries and return to the oven for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.<\/p>\n

3. Grill the Carne Asada:<\/h3>\n

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400\u00b0F\/200\u00b0C).<\/p>\n

Remove the steak from the marinade and grill for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare (135\u00b0F\/57\u00b0C internally), or to your desired doneness.<\/p>\n

Let the steak rest for 5 minutes, then chop into bite-sized pieces.<\/p>\n

4. Make the Guacamole:<\/h3>\n

In a bowl, mash the avocados with a fork until smooth but slightly chunky.<\/p>\n

Stir in the tomato, red onion, jalape\u00f1o (if using), lime juice, cilantro, and salt. Mix well and set aside.<\/p>\n

5. Assemble the Loaded Fries:<\/h3>\n

Transfer the cheesy fries to a serving tray.<\/p>\n

Top with the chopped carne asada, a drizzle of Mexican crema or sour cream, diced white onion, and a large scoop of guacamole.<\/p>\n

Garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired.<\/p>\n

Serving Suggestion:<\/h2>\n

Serve immediately while the fries are hot, with extra lime wedges on the side for squeezing. Pair with a cold drink like a Mexican lager or agua fresca.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
