California Taco With Grilled Tri-tip, Quesillo, Guacamole, Salsa, And Crispy Fries
  1. Season the tri-tip with kosher salt and black pepper. Grill over high heat until the thickest part reaches 125–130°F for medium-rare. Rest 15 minutes, then chop.

  2. Slice the russet potato into thin fries and rinse under cold water until the water runs clear. Dry thoroughly with paper towels. Fry at 350°F until golden brown and crispy, then immediately toss with kosher salt and chopped cilantro.

  3. Mash the avocados with lime juice and kosher salt until smooth but still slightly chunky.

  4. Preheat a comal or griddle over medium-high heat. Add cooking oil, a layer of shredded quesillo, then top with the tortilla. Sear until melted and slightly charred, then remove from heat. Top with guacamole, chopped tri-tip, salsa, and crispy fries. Optionally, add pico de gallo and/or sour cream.
