There are just days that call for French Fries covered in cheese. We’ve all been there…some of us are there more than others…it’s cool, this is a judgement free zone. I mean unless you are wearing Crocs. Then I might judge you. A little bit. Anyway, there are days that call for cheese fries…and THEN there are days that call for LOADED cheese fries. Can I get an amen? So today we have the Fracho. Cheese fries to the infinity power. French Fries + Nachos. Made in a Skillet. Possibly the world’s most perfect food. This recipe is kicking off a fun week of Tex-Mex inspired food. I’m teaming up with my good friends (and neighbors) over at Mantitlement this week to bring you lots of cheesy, taco seasoned food. It’s really the best idea ever. Because what’s better than eating Tex Mex? Eating Tex Mex with your frands! Also we happening to be shoving her AMAZING low carb nachos in our faces at that moment…Yes, you heard that right.. LOW CARB NACHOS! Seriously SUCH a great idea…the chips are replaced by cheese crisps, which are basically just little piles of cheese melted and toasted in the oven topped with nacho stuff. So SO good. Anyhow, back to all the carbs you could ever dream of… What I did was brown up 1/2 pound of lean ground beef and season it with taco seasoning. I mixed in about 1 cup of black beans with that too, but that’s totally optional! THEN I baked some fries in the oven until they were VERY crispy. I used these Yukon fries from Alexia…which are really good! (Also totally not a sponsored shout out…I really happen to love their fries!) When the fries are good and crispy I placed half of them in a 9″ skillet. Topped them with half of the meat and bean mixture and about 1 – 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheese. Then I repeated the process so every French Fry has cheese…a very important step int he nacho making process. While those were in the oven baking we whipped up some guac. Because a nacho without guac is unacceptable. And when they came out of the oven I added some cilantro, chopped tomatoes, the guac and a little Chipotle Cream to fancy it up… Eat these immediately, as if I had to even say that! NOW hop over to Mantitlement to get the recipe for their Low Carb Nachos and stay tuned for some more fun Tex Mex dishes this week!!
