Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Spread the frozen waffle fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet and lightly spray them with olive oil cooking spray. Sprinkle with salt and ground black pepper.
Bake the waffle fries in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Flip halfway through cooking for even crispiness.
While the waffle fries bake, prepare your toppings. Warm the cooked ground beef or shredded chicken in a pan over medium heat if needed.
Once the fries are crispy, remove them from the oven and transfer them to an oven-safe platter or keep them on the baking sheet.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the hot fries. Add the cooked ground beef or chicken, black beans, and sliced jalapeños on top.
Return the loaded fries to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted.
Remove from the oven and top with diced tomatoes, sour cream, guacamole, black olives, and fresh cilantro.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Waffle Fry Nachos!
