The snack that is also hearty enough to be a meal! Delicious Carne Asada Fries are topped with homemade queso blanco dip plus my an easy guacamole and tender carne asada for a dish that can be served up at a tailgate party or for dinner!
Is there anything better than a crispy plate of fries with all your favorite toppings? If so, I can’t think of it at the moment because all I can think about is digging into more of the cheesy goodness that comes along with these amazing Carne Asada Fries! And yes, I used a bag of frozen fries because I’m not totally crazy ;). There’s only so much time in a day and if we are making homemade cheese sauce and guac, the fries can come from a bag. If you need a recommendation on some good ones, Alexia never disappoints.
What is the best meat for carne asada?
- usually skirt steak but flank steak is another great option
- carne asada basically means grilled meat, like the recipe I shared a while back, but if you need something even easier, I also have what I like to call my cheater version that I make in the slow cooker
When should you serve carne asada fries?
- I think that’s a trick question, because the correct answer would be anytime!
- perfect for a football watch party
- great for a potluck or other weekend gathering of friends or family
- awesome for a weeknight dinner because life should be fun no matter if you have to work tomorrow or not!
Serve up with a margarita these become such a treat!!

This is definitely a comfort food dinner recipe. My husband would devour it in no time.
I love carne asada! I never thought about putting it on fries. Will definitely give this a try.
Hey Jennifer, if you’d serve your gorgeous looking skillet with us, my daughter would spoon the guac, I would snack all those yummy fries and my hubby would deeply enjoy your grilled carne with cheeses sauce. …and we would all be happy:)
Oh my gosh my other half would go bananas if I made this for a meal or snack. And let’s be honest, I would go bananas too! Just pinned and can’t wait to try these out sometime!
I love this. It’s like a poutine with one of my favorites, carne asada. Break out the fries! Making this tonight.
Anything loaded with guac is good with me. These are my kind of fries!
