Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 3 russet potatoes
- 1 teaspoon garlic salt
- ½ teaspoon ground pepper
- 1 teaspoon onion flakes
- ½ teaspoon cumin
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 avocados
- 2 tablespoon cilantro
- 2 cups chopped carne asada recipe below
- 1 cup cheese cheddar, pepperjack or quesadilla
- ½ 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
- ½ 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.
Notes
You can really make a pretty presentation with your toppings. Or go simple with the steak and let everyone top their own serving.
