Method
Step 1
If serving with rice, make your rice.
Step 2
Bake the frozen French fries according to package instructions.
Step 3
Make the Aji Verde: In a food processor or powerful blender, add the garlic, mayonnaise, cilantro, jalapeños, Cotija and lime juice. Blend for a minute or so until creamy. Set aside.
Step 4
Heat a couple tablespoons of olive oil in a large pan over high heat. Add the tomatoes, bell peppers, red onion and green beans. Sauté for about five minutes. Next, add the Worcestershire sauce, balsamic vinegar, soy sauce and brown sugar. Sauté for another five minutes, then reduce heat to low and let simmer until the veggies soak up most of the liquid.
Step 5
Once the French fries are done, add them to the pan and mix to coat.
Step 6
Serve with rice and drizzle the Aji Verde over everything!
