Preparation
    Fries:
    Heat oil in a fryer to 325 degrees F.
    Skin potatoes, and cut into uniform sized matchsticks.
    Place the cut potatoes in a bowl of ice water to release some of the starch and to keep them from browning.
    Dry the potatoes strips thoroughly to keep them from splattering.
    Fry the potatoes for 3 minutes until soft but not golden brown, do not over-crowd them.
    Remove and place on paper towel. Turn heat up to 350, and place back in fryer for 4 minutes, or until golden brown.
    Let drain on paper towels.
    Carne Asada:
    Mix tequila, juices, garlic, onion, Tabasco, and pepper in a medium bowl.
    Add steaks to marinade, ensuring they are completely covered.
    Place in refrigerator 4-6 hours, turning occasionally to ensure they stay submerged in marinade.
    Remove steaks, and grill about 7 minutes on each side.
    Cut into 1\"x1/2\" strips, set aside.
    Guacamole:
    Place all ingredients in a bowl and blend with hand blender until smooth, or mash with a fork.
    Put a handful of fries in a bowl and top with 1/2 cup cheese, 1/2 cup carne asada strips, 1/4 cup guacmole, and 1/4 cup sour cream. Enjoy! (:
