Enjoy Taco Bell's Nacho Fries at home anytime you want with this quick and easy recipe!
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ore Ida Fries
- 1 lb ground hamburger (or ground turkey)
- 4 tsp taco seasoning (Riega Organic Taco Seasoning is gluten-free)
Cheese Sauce
- 16 slices American cheese
- ½ cup milk
- 2 tbsp brine from a jar of jalapeño slices
Optional Toppings (choose your favorite nacho toppings)
- sour cream
- diced tomatoes or salsa
- guacamole
- diced or sliced jalapeño
- green onions
- cilantro
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°. Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper for easy clean up. Place fries in a single layer on the baking sheet. Bake 22-24 minutes.
- While the fries are cooking, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Brown ground beef until fully cooked (no longer pink), breaking it up with a spatula while cooking.
- Drain grease and return ground beef to skillet. Stir in 2 tsp of taco seasoning. Set aside.
- Cut or tear American cheese slices into smaller pieces. Place in a microwave safe bowl with milk and jalapeño brine. Microwave in 30 second intervals and stir between intervals, until the cheese melts into a smooth sauce.
- Remove fries from oven when they are a light golden color and toss with remaining 2 tsp of taco seasoning.
- Assemble nacho fries and serve family-style on a large platter or set up a bar for everyone to assemble their own: fries, cheese sauce, cooked ground beef, and optional toppings.
