Ingredients You’ll Need
- For the Base
- 1 bag frozen fries (or homemade fries)
- For the Beef Topping
- 1/2 lb ground beef
- 1/4 cup chopped onion
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes or salsa
- 1 teaspoon taco seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- For the Toppings
- 1/2 cup nacho cheese sauce
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup sliced jalapeños
How to Make It
1. Cook the Fries: Cook the frozen fries according to package directions until crispy and golden brown. You want them extra crispy so they hold up under all the toppings!
2. Cook the Beef: While the fries are cooking, heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and chopped onion, cooking until the beef is browned and the onions are soft.
3. Season the Beef: Add the taco seasoning and diced tomatoes or salsa to the beef. Stir well and let it simmer for 3 to 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4. Assemble: Arrange the hot, crispy fries on a serving plate. Top with the beef mixture, then drizzle with warm nacho cheese sauce. Add the sliced jalapeños and drizzle with sour cream.
5. Serve: Serve immediately while everything is hot and the cheese is melty. These are best eaten fresh!
