Cheesesteak Taco Fries: A Savory Fusion of Flavors

Ingredients

• 1 bag of frozen waffle fries
• 1 lb. ground beef
• 1 onion, chopped
• 1 packet of taco seasoning
• 2 cups shredded cheddar jack cheese
• ½ cup chopped green onions
• 1 tomato, diced

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 450°F (230°C). This ensures that the fries will cook evenly and become nice and crispy.
2. Cook the Waffle Fries: Arrange the frozen waffle fries on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Place them in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until they reach your desired level of crispiness.
3. Prepare the Beef Mixture: While the fries are baking, heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and chopped onion to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the beef is browned and the onions are softened. If there is any excess grease, drain it off.
4. Add Taco Seasoning: Reduce the heat to low and stir in the packet of taco seasoning. Continue to sauté the beef mixture for a few more minutes, ensuring the seasoning is well incorporated.
5. Assemble the Dish: Once the fries are crispy, remove them from the oven. Top the fries with the seasoned beef mixture, spreading it evenly over the top.
6. Add the Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar jack cheese generously over the beef mixture. Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
7. Garnish and Serve: Remove the fries from the oven and top with chopped green onions and diced tomatoes. Serve immediately and enjoy this delightful fusion of cheesesteak, tacos, and fries.
