What's better than a bowl of hot French fries? A bowl of hot French fries seasoned with Carne Asada Spice 'n Easy mix and topped with grilled steak, cheese, and guacamole! This dish is perfect for serving up on game day or on a lazy Saturday afternoon. Switch up the toppings however you want, and be prepared with dips: we like to dip our fries in Smoky Ketchup or Homemade Sriracha.
