Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 oz Frozen French fries
- 1 lb Ground beef
- 1 packet Taco seasoning
- 0.666 cup Water
- 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 0.5 cup Fresh salsa
- 3 stalks Green onions, sliced
- 0.25 cup Jalapeños, sliced (optional)
- 1 whole Avocado, diced (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven according to the instructions for the frozen French fries (usually around 425°F). Spread the fries on a baking sheet and bake until golden and crispy, approximately 20-25 minutes.
While the fries are baking, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
Drain any excess grease from the skillet. Add the taco seasoning packet and water. Stir to combine, then let the mixture simmer for 3-5 minutes, until the sauce thickens and coats the beef.
Once the fries are crispy, remove them from the oven and transfer them onto a large serving platter or pan.
Evenly spoon the seasoned taco meat over the fries.
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the taco meat. Allow the heat from the fries and meat to melt the cheese or place the platter in the oven for an additional 2-3 minutes if needed.
Add dollops of sour cream and fresh salsa across the top of the cheese layer.
Sprinkle sliced green onions, jalapeños (if using), and diced avocado over the taco fries for added flavor and freshness.
Serve immediately while hot, and enjoy your Easy Taco Fries!
