Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the fries according to instructions on the package

Step 2

Prepare the beef birria according to instructions on the package. With 2 minutes left, add 1 jalapeño, sliced.

Step 3

While the beef and fries are cooking, make the Zhoug Mayo sauce. Do a 1:1 ratio of Zhoug and Mayo (we did 1 tbsp of each) and add lime to taste. Mix together in a small bowl

Step 4

Once the fries are ready, sprinkle cheese on top of them. It will melt when the beef birria is added, and it serves as a barrier between the meat and the fries so they won’t get soggy.

Step 5

Top with avocado, onions, cilantro, and the Zhoug Mayo sauce.
