Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Fries

    Bake or fry the frozen French fries according to package instructions until golden and crispy. Sprinkle with salt and set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Ranchero Sauce

    In a saucepan over medium heat, combine diced tomatoes, chopped onion, minced jalapeño, and lime juice. Cook until the mixture thickens, about 10-15 minutes. Stir in chopped cilantro and set aside.

  3. 3

    Cook the Steak

    Rub the arranchera steak with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Grill or pan-sear over high heat for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Let rest before slicing.

  4. 4

    Sauté the Shrimp

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds. Add shrimp and paprika, cooking until shrimp is pink and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes.

  5. 5

    Make the Chipotle Crema

    In a bowl, mix sour cream, minced chipotle peppers, and lime juice until well combined.

Assembly

  1. 6

    Plate the Dish

    On a large platter, layer the crispy fries, top with sliced arranchera steak, sautéed shrimp, and drizzle with ranchero sauce and chipotle crema. Serve immediately.
