Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs Beef sirloin, sliced into thin strips
  • 1 large Red onion, sliced into thick wedges
  • 2 medium Roma tomatoes, sliced into wedges
  • 2 tablespoons Chipotle peppers in adobo, minced
  • 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
  • 1 lb Frozen thick-cut french fries
  • 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
  • 3 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 8 pieces Corn tortillas
  • 4 pieces Lime wedges(optional)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the french fries according to package instructions until they are extra crispy, then set aside.

  2. 2

    In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, and minced chipotle peppers to create the fusion sauce.

  3. 3

    Heat a large wok or heavy skillet over high heat with 2 tablespoons of oil until it begins to smoke slightly.

  4. 4

    Sear the beef strips in small batches to ensure they brown deeply without steaming; remove beef from the pan and set aside.

  5. 5

    Add the remaining oil to the pan and stir-fry the red onions for 2 minutes until charred on the edges but still crunchy.

  6. 6

    Add the garlic and tomatoes to the pan, cooking for only 1 minute so the tomatoes stay intact.

  7. 7

    Return the beef to the pan, pour in the chipotle-soy sauce, and toss rapidly for 30 seconds to glaze everything.

  8. 8

    Fold in the crispy fries and cilantro, then serve immediately with warm corn tortillas and lime wedges on the side.
