•
1 teaspoon ground cumin
•
1 teaspoon chili powder
•
1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
•
1 teaspoon lime juice
•
1 pound beef flank steak, cut into thin strips
•
2 cups oil for frying, or as needed
•
1 (16 ounce) package frozen French fries
•
2 ripe avocados, peeled and pitted
•

•
1/2 (8 ounce) package shredded Mexican cheese blend, or to taste

Directions
1
Combine soy sauce, salt, pepper, garlic powder, cumin, chili powder, Cajun seasoning, and lime juice in a glass or ceramic bowl; add steak. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour or up to overnight.
2
Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
3
Cook steak on the preheated grill until firm and cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes per side.
4
Deep-fry French fries in hot oil until golden brown and crisp, 3 to 5 minutes, working in batches and adding more oil as needed. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
5
Mash avocados with guacamole seasoning in a small bowl. Set guacamole aside.
6
Place fries on a microwave-safe plate and layer with cooked carne asada and Mexican cheese. Heat in the microwave for 20 seconds. Top with guacamole, sour cream, and green onions to serve.
