Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 bag frozen fries
  • 8 oz top sirloin
  • 1 cup cheddar or mozzarella cheese, grated
  • 1 jalapeno pepper, sliced
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1/3 cup cilantro, chopped
  • 1 cup store bought pico de gallo
  • 1 cup store bought guacamole
  • Sour cream to serve, optional
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup lime juice
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce or tamari to make gluten-free
  • 2 tsp chili powder
  • 2 tsp cumin
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 tsp each salt and pepper


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C). Bake the fries according to the package directions, typically about 10-12 minutes per side.
  2. While the fries are baking, marinate the top sirloin steak for at least 15 minutes and up to 2 hours in olive oil, lime juice, soy sauce, chili powder, cumin, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
  3. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the marinated steak for 2-3 minutes on each side, depending on the thickness. Allow the steak to rest for at least 5 minutes before dicing it into pieces.
  4. Once the fries are out of the oven, sprinkle the cheese on top and return them to the oven for an additional 3-5 minutes until the cheese is melted. Divide the fries among six plates and add the diced steak, pico de gallo, guacamole, jalapenos, and cilantro on top.
  5. Serve with additional sour cream if desired and enjoy!

Notes

For a spicier kick, leave the seeds in the jalapeno pepper.
Ensure the steak is rested before cutting for the best texture.
Feel free to customize toppings based on your preferences.
