⭐ Ingredients:
- 2 cups crispy French fries (store-bought or homemade)
- ½ lb ground beef
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ¼ cup diced green onions
- ¼ cup pickled jalapeños, sliced
- 1 teaspoon taco seasoning (or homemade: cumin, paprika, chili powder, garlic powder)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- ¼ cup sour cream (optional, for serving)
🍴 Instructions:
1️⃣ Cook the Fries:
Bake or fry your French fries according to package instructions until they are golden, crispy, and irresistible. Set aside while you prep the beef.
2️⃣ Prepare the Seasoned Beef:
In a skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add the ground beef, breaking it up with a spatula as it cooks.
Season with taco seasoning, a little salt, and pepper.
Cook for another 2–3 minutes until the beef is flavorful and fully cooked.
3️⃣ Assemble and Melt:
Arrange the hot, crispy fries on a serving plate or ovenproof dish.
Spoon the seasoned beef evenly over the fries.
Generously sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over everything.
4️⃣ Melt the Cheese:
Place the plate under a broiler for 1–2 minutes, just until the cheese is melted, gooey, and bubbly. Keep a close eye to avoid burning!
5️⃣ Top it Off:
Remove from the oven and immediately scatter the diced green onions and sliced pickled jalapeños over the cheesy beef fries.
6️⃣ Serve and Enjoy:
Serve hot, with a side of cool sour cream for dipping if you like!
Warning: they disappear fast.
