Ingredients
  

1 lb frozen French fries (thin-cut or steak fries)

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese

1 cup cooked and crumbled seasoned ground beef (or substitute with black beans for a vegetarian option)

1/2 cup sliced black olives

1/2 cup diced tomatoes

1/4 cup diced red onion

1 jalapeño, sliced (optional)

1/2 cup sour cream

1/2 cup guacamole

1 tablespoon taco seasoning

Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Cooking oil (if frying fries)

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Prep the Fries:

    - If baking, preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Spread the frozen fries on a baking sheet and bake according to package instructions until golden and crispy, usually about 20-25 minutes. For frying, heat oil in a deep fryer or heavy pot to 350°F (175°C) and fry the fries until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Drain on paper towels and season with salt.

      Prepare the Beef (or Beans):

        - If using ground beef, cook in a skillet over medium heat until browned. Drain excess fat and stir in taco seasoning. If using black beans, heat them in a pot and season as desired.

          Layer the Nacho Fries:

            - Once the fries are ready, layer them on a large platter or a baking dish. Begin with a generous base of fries.

              Add Toppings:

                - Sprinkle the cooked ground beef (or black beans) evenly over the fries. Then, add both cheeses, distributing them evenly.

                  Melt the Cheese:

                    - Place the loaded fries under the broiler for about 2-3 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Keep an eye on them to avoid burning.

                      Add Fresh Toppings:

                        - Remove from the oven and top with black olives, diced tomatoes, red onion, jalapeños, and chopped cilantro.

                          Serve with Dips:

                            - Drizzle sour cream and guacamole over the top, or serve them on the side for dipping.

                              Final Touch:

                                - Enjoy your Loaded Nacho Fries immediately while hot and melted!
