Ingredients

Steak & Marinade:

1 Whole Skirt or Flap Steak separated into 2-3 pieces
2.5 tbsp Chipotle Garlic Rub Or your favorite steak rub
2 tbsp BLK FYR Hot Sauce Or your favorite hot sauce
2 tbsp Chopped Cilantro
2 Medium Limes juiced
1 Navel Orange juiced
1 tbsp Chosen Foods Avocado Oil

1-2 lbs Shrimp peeled, deveined & tail off
2.5 tbsp Achiote Paste
2.5 tbsp Chopped Cilantro
1 tbsp Chosen Foods Avocado Oil
Salt to taste

Fries:

Cooked French Fries
2-3 cups Melted Cheese Queso
Sliced Jalapeños
Sour Cream
Guacamole
Chopped Cilantro
Chopped Red Onions

Instructions

In a large food safe bowl, add all the ingredients for the beef marinade and mix thoroughly. Add your steak into the marinade, mix, cover and place in the fridge for at least 4 hours but ideally overnight.
The next day, add your shrimp to a food safe bowl and add the marinade ingredients. Mix thoroughly and let sit for 15 minutes, then drain the excess marinade and set aside.
Preheat your grill to high temperature about 400 degrees F. Spray the grated with Chosen Foods Avocado Oil for better sear marks.
Add the steaks to the grill first and cook for about 4 minutes per side until medium rare (about 120 degrees F internal). When the steaks are done, pull off and let rest.
Next, add a cast iron skillet or plancha over the fire with some oil. Add your shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until done (having a “C” shape instead of an “O” shape). Pull off once done and set to the side.
Slice up your steak against the grain then cube it and get ready to make the nachos!
Begin building your fries with one layer of cooked fries and a drizzle of nacho cheese. Follow that with another layer of fries and nacho cheese. Top with your cubed steak, shrimp, chopped cilantro, chopped red onions, sliced jalapenos, sour cream and guacamole. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

How to Make Homemade Steak Fries

For homemade French fries, you can use any type of potato. Russet potatoes, Yukon gold potatoes or red potatoes all make some of the best steak fries. Slice the potatoes how you want. I tend to like frozen thin restaurant fries but if you want more rustic, thicker fries, you do you. Soaking them for 30 minutes in water with a little baking soda first gives crispy edges. The soda draws the starch to the surface, leading to better browning and a crispier texture. Make sure to pat them dry with paper towels after soaking.

If you want to bake them instead of frying them, follow these simple steps. The crispy fries with a nice crispy outer layer will be perfect for this dish.

Grab a whole potato and slice into thick potato wedges and repeat for as many fries as you need.
Spread them out in a single layer on a cookie sheet.
Season them with garlic powder, onion powder, a bit of black pepper and a bit of cayenne pepper.
Spray with avocado oil or drizzle on some of the Chosen Foods Avocado Oil Olive Oil blend for more flavor.
Bake in a preheated oven on a parchment paper-lined sheet pan until golden brown.
