carne asada fries

Grilled beef strips

Carne asada fries are a plate of French fries topped with grilled, sliced beef (carne asada), melted cheese, guacamole, sour cream, and often pico de gallo or salsa.

The dish originated in San Diego's Mexican-American food culture and spread through Southern California and beyond.

It represents the loaded-fries genre taken to maximalist extremes: We split an order of carne asada fries after the concert.
