I’ve been so excited for Gina’s (from the super popular and amazing blog Skinnytaste.com) new cookbook. It’s called Skinnytaste one and Done: 140 No Fuss Dinner For Your Instant Pot®, Air fryer, Slow Cooker, Dutch oven, Sheet Pan, Skillet, and more, and it’s AMAZING!
The cookbook is full of 140 healthy and delicious recipes that are big on flavor and low on calories and cleanup. Just my style! Being a mom, it can be hard to find recipes that are healthy and delicious (and that the kids will actually eat!). But with this cookbook, dinnertime just became that much easier. I swear I’ve bookmarked every single recipe to try; they all sound SO good!
Gina is one of the kindest and most awe inspiring bloggers (suuuuper successful yet generous and down to earth) I know, and I could not be more excited for her new book. Every recipe I’ve ever made of hers (and that’s a lot, including the best turkey tacos I shared on the blog from her last cookbook) turns out SO GOOD and becomes a favorite. Her books definitely are on my list of favorite cookbooks, and this carne asada fries recipe will be added to it!
You’re going to be shocked when you find out these carne asada fries only clock in at 436 calories per serving if you’re having them for dinner! I served them as an appetizer and it served 6 adults, so 145 calories per appetizer serving!!
A few months ago I had carne asada fries at a restaurant for an appetizer and I loved them so much. I have had them on my idea list to make for the blog! When I was going through the cookbook, they immediately jumped out at me and then I asked on Instagram which recipe you guys wanted to see. The resounding answer (86% of people answering the poll) said they wanted to see carne asada fries, so here they are!
You make super flavorful carne asada and let it rest while you make crispy fries on a sheet pan (these ones are my favorite sheet pans). Then you top the fries with cheese and the steak, broil it, and then top everything with pico. The end result are loaded steak fries you’re going to enjoy bite after bite!
I cannot recommend the Skinnytaste One and Done cookbook enough. I’ve already made two recipes (in the last two days) and cannot wait to put my beloved Instant Pot (I just shared this sweet potato and sausage soup) and Air Fryer (I’ve loved sharing recipes like this crispy cheesy chicken)to use making these recipes.
