Carne Asada Tater Totchos

Directions

1. Add all of the Carne Asada ingredients together in a bowl and mix well.
2. Add beef to the bowl, massaging the marinade into the meat evenly. Cover and let marinate for at least 30 minutes, no more than two hours.
3. Using a grill, non-stick pan, griddle or broiler, grill your steak on high for about five minutes on each side for medium-rare. Remove from heat and rest until you are ready to slice and plate.
4. Season frozen tater tots with achiote blend to your liking. Then, cook according to the package instructions. These should take around 20-25 minutes in your oven.
5. While the tater tots are cooking, prepare your queso. Make sure you don’t walk away while cooking. Trust us, you’ll be glad you did when you taste the cheesy goodness.
6. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the oil (or butter). Add flour and whisk until smooth, continue whisking for approximately one minute to cook the starch out. Be careful not to burn or brown. If you do, you'll have to start over.
7. Add the milk slowly, whisking constantly and bring to a low boil.
8. Turn the heat down to the lowest possible setting and add the cheese one slice at a time, whisking constantly to fully incorporate.
9. Once complete, remove from the heat and whisk in Spiceology Achiote and salsa.
10. You now have homemade queso!
