Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb frozen French fries
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp taco seasoning
- 15 oz canned diced tomatoes (with green chilies, optional)
- 15 oz canned black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup canned corn, drained
- 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 2 tbsp green onions, chopped
- 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil (for greasing baking sheet)
- 0.25 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet with vegetable oil.
Spread the frozen French fries evenly on the baking sheet and bake according to the package instructions, typically around 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through for even crispiness.
While the fries bake, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up into crumbles, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the ground beef. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion softens and becomes translucent.
Stir in the taco seasoning, canned diced tomatoes, black beans, and corn. Mix well to combine and let the mixture simmer for 5-7 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed.
Once the fries are golden and crispy, remove them from the oven and transfer them to a serving platter or keep them on the baking sheet for assembly.
Spoon the taco chili mixture evenly over the fries. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top so it melts slightly from the heat of the chili.
Add dollops of sour cream on top of the cheese for creaminess. Sprinkle with chopped green onions and fresh cilantro for a burst of freshness.
Serve hot and enjoy your Taco Chili Fries with a fork or as finger food!
