Ingredients

2 teaspoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
1 teaspoon lime juice
1 pound beef flank steak, cut into thin strips
2 cups oil for frying, or as needed
1 (16 ounce) package frozen French fries
2 medium (blank)s ripe avocados
1 (1 ounce) package
½ (8 ounce) package shredded Mexican cheese blend, or to taste
¼ cup sliced green onions, or to taste
¼ cup sour cream, or to taste

Steps:

Combine soy sauce, salt, pepper, garlic powder, cumin, chili powder, Cajun seasoning, and lime juice in a glass or ceramic bowl; add steak. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour, up to overnight.
Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Cook steak on the preheated grill until firm and cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes per side.
Deep-fry the French fries in the hot oil until golden brown and crisp, 3 to 5 minutes, working in batches and adding more oil as needed. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Mash avocados with guacamole seasoning in a bowl. Set aside.
Place the fries on a microwave-safe plate and layer with cooked carne asada and Mexican cheese. Heat in the microwave for 20 seconds. Add guacamole, sour cream, and finish it with green onions.
