This carne asada fries recipe is such a great party food (or one pan dinner), you’ll never even know they’re healthy! The carne asada fries are loaded steak fries taken to the next level, and are an easy and delicious meal everyone will love! Fries topped with flavorful steak, pico and cheese, YUM, and are from the new Skinnytaste One and Done cookbook!

The best carne asada fries from Skinnytaste

I’ve been so excited for Gina’s (from the super popular and amazing blog Skinnytaste.com) new cookbook. It’s called Skinnytaste one and Done: 140 No Fuss Dinner For Your Instant Pot®, Air fryer, Slow Cooker, Dutch oven, Sheet Pan, Skillet, and more, and it’s AMAZING!

How to make the best carne asada fries

The cookbook is full of 140 healthy and delicious recipes that are big on flavor and low on calories and cleanup. Just my style! Being a new mom, it can be hard to find recipes that are healthy and delicious. But with this cookbook, dinnertime just became that much easier. I swear I’ve bookmarked every single recipe to try, they all sound SO good!

Skinnytaste one and done recipe

Gina is one of the kindest and most awe inspiring bloggers (suuuuper successful yet generous and down to earth) I know, and I could not be more excited for her new book. Every recipe I’ve ever made of hers (and that’s a lot, including the best turkey tacos I shared on the blog from her last cookbook) turns out SO GOOD and becomes a favorite. Her books definitely are on my list of favorite cookbooks, and this one will be added to it!

The best ever loaded steak fries

Just like with these carne asada fries, they’re sooo good, you’re going to be shocked when you find out they clock in at 436 calories per serving if you’re having them for dinner! I served them as an appetizer and it served 6 adults, so 145 calories per appetizer serving!!

The most delicious and healthy steak fries recipe

A few months ago I had carne asada fries at a restaurant for an appetizer and I loved them so much, I had them on my idea list to make for the blog! When I was going through the cookbook, they immediately jumped out at me and then I asked on Instagram which recipe you guys wanted to see. The resounding answer (86% of people answering the poll) said they wanted to see carne asada fries, so here they are!

You make super flavorful carne asada and let it rest while you make crispy fries on a sheet pan (these ones are my favorite sheet pans) then you top the fries with cheese and the steak, broil it, and then top everything with pico. The end result are loaded steak fries you’re going to enjoy bite after bite!

The most delicious and healthy carne asada steak fries

I cannot recommend the Skinnytaste One and Done cookbook enough. I’ve already made two recipes (in the last two days) and cannot wait to put my beloved Instant Pot (I just shared this sweet potato and sausage soup) and Air Fryer (I’ve loved sharing recipes like this crispy cheesy chicken)to use making these recipes.

Other recipes you might enjoy:

  • Crispy Parmesan Fries with Roasted Garlic Aioli
  • Sour Cream and Chive Fries
  • BBQ Apple Cheddar Sliders & Cheese Fries

    Do you peel the potatoes first or just give them a good scrub?
    I usually peel most of the potatoes but leave the ends with skin on them

      You could leave the peel on or remove it – your preference 🙂

    I made this with some of my leftover pulled pork instead of steak and it came out delicious. I also cooked the potatoes in the airfryer before adding all the stuff on top of them.

      Oh no!! Did you pat the potatoes dry after washing them? Also, sometimes I really like to just leave them in the oven to bake bake bake…so I’ll end up leaving them in for double the cooking time!

Iced coffee or hot coffee?! ☕⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

There’s nothing I enjoy more than a cold, delicious iced coffee from Starbucks. But sometimes I don’t have the time (or, let’s be real, the 💰) to pick one of these bad boys up in the mornings, so I was determined to figure out how to make Starbucks iced coffee at home, which is exactly what I did with this french press iced coffee!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
