Among many popular Mexican dishes, Carne Asada is shining through as the gluten and corn-free options. It’s in fact one enjoyable dish by the grill.
Just like any other Mexican dishes, which usually contain lots of food, the kind of amount that would knock any stomach full, Carne Asada also means for the large appetite. It has lots of protein (cube grilled flank) over heavenly baked french fries. Then there’s the magical guacamole and sour cream to top off the flavor.
Everything just tastes so good together, but the Mexican restaurant often makes it more enjoyable with extra chili. You can skip that for home grilling but just note as an option.
Also note that flank steak should be marinated 4-5 hours in advance, or simple just overnight in the fridge. you can bake the fries as the recipe below, or simple deep-fry them. Replace potatoes with sweet potatoes or another kind of jam would variate the flavors too.
Happy grilling
