Carne asada fries

Carne Asada Fries are a type of fast food dish that originated in San Diego, California. This dish is a fusion of Mexican cuisine and American cuisine, and is considered a staple of the regional cuisine in San Diego.

History

Carne Asada Fries were first introduced in the late 1990s by a San Diego-based fast food chain called Roberto's Taco Shop. The dish was created as a variation of the traditional carne asada dish, which is a grilled and sliced beef dish popular in Mexican cuisine. The addition of fries to the dish was inspired by the American fast food culture.

Preparation

Carne Asada Fries are typically prepared by first grilling a piece of beef, usually a flank steak or skirt steak, which is then sliced into thin pieces. The beef is seasoned with a variety of spices, including garlic, onion, cumin, and chili powder. The seasoned beef is then placed on top of a bed of french fries, and topped with cheese, guacamole, sour cream, and pico de gallo.

Variations

There are several variations of Carne Asada Fries, including versions that include additional toppings such as refried beans, jalapenos, and cilantro. Some versions also include different types of meat, such as chicken or pork, instead of beef.

Popularity

Carne Asada Fries have become a popular dish in many parts of the United States, particularly in areas with a large Mexican-American population. The dish is often served at fast food restaurants, food trucks, and at sporting events.
