Instructions
Cook the Fries:
Preheat the oven and cook the seasoned fries according to the package instructions until crispy.
Prepare the Meat:
While the fries are cooking, brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat. Drain excess fat.
Add the taco seasoning and a splash of water. Stir and simmer for 5 minutes until the meat is fully seasoned.
Assemble the Nacho Fries:
Once the fries are cooked, spread them out on a baking sheet or oven-safe dish.
Top the fries evenly with the seasoned ground beef.
Sprinkle shredded cheese over the top.
Melt the Cheese:
Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted.
Add Toppings:
Remove from the oven and add your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, guacamole, salsa, jalapeños, green onions, or black olives.
Serve:
Serve immediately while hot and enjoy!
Notes
For a spicier kick, use pepper jack cheese or add a dash of hot sauce to the meat.
Substitute ground turkey or chicken for a lighter version.
Make it vegetarian by using plant-based ground meat and skipping the beef.
