Instructions

1 For easier slicing: place meat in the freezer to firm up (approximately 15
minutes). Meanwhile, prep marinade: Combine orange juice, lime juice, vinegar,
cilantro, garlic and spices into a gallon zip-top bag. Shake and set aside.
2 Take meat from freezer and remove excess fat. Slice meat into 1/4 to 1/2 inch
wide strips, preferably 2 inches long or shorter. Place slices into the zip-top
bag with marinade. Refrigerate for 30 minutes (no more than 3 hours).
3 Remove meat from the bag and discard marinade. Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
in a large skillet on medium-high and cook the steak, tossing continuously for
approximately 4-5 minutes, or until done.
4 Prepare fries according to package directions, timing to finish as the meat
finishes cooking. Deep frying is the best method but baking the fries works
well, too. See below.
5 Toss cooked fries with a dash of salt and then plate, topping with shredded
cheese, then meat, and finishing with a sprinkle of Cotija cheese. Top with
guacamole and sour cream. Enjoy!
