So in Okinawa we had our taco rice...a meal that makes people say "wait...what?" So it was only natural that in San Diego we would have carne asada burritos...with french fries in the burrito. Yes you heard that right...they put french fries right into the burrito. While it is in fact an artery clogging meal...it is delicious and definitely worth it every once in a while. They also do carne asada fries, which are essentially nachos with french fries instead of chips. Loaded up with all their nacho goodness. Also artery clogging, also delicious! So while this meal seems like a lot of steps...it is actually not much more work than your regular tacos. I whipped it up in about 30 minutes, not counting marinating time...and most of the ingredients I already had in my pantry and fridge. Because of the french fries...the kids were also amazed...they love anything with french fries!!
Marinade:
1/4 cup olive oil
1 cup apple cider vinegar
1/3 cup orange juice
1/3 cup lime juice
2 tbsp fresh minced garlic
1 tsp pepper
1 tbsp salt
1 tbsp cumin
1 tbsp chili powder
1 tbsp oregano
1/4 tsp ground cloves
4 lbs carne asada meat...or skirt steak sliced thin
Mix together all marinade ingredients except the meat. Once all ingredients are mixed, add then add the meat. Cover and refridgerate for minimum of 2 hours, and up to overnight. Grill on high heat until meat is charred and cooked through. Slice into strips and serve hot. Serve with the below ingredients and layer like a delicious burrito!!
