Taco Bell Nacho Fries

Sure, here’s a simple recipe to make your own Taco Bell-style Nacho Fries at home:

Ingredients:

• 4 medium-sized potatoes (russet or any kind you prefer)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon cumin
• Salt, to taste
• 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
• 1/4 cup diced tomatoes
• 1/4 cup diced onions
• 1/4 cup sliced jalapeños
• 1/4 cup sour cream
• 1/4 cup guacamole
• 1/4 cup salsa

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly. Leave the skin on for added texture.
3. Cut the potatoes into thin strips to resemble fries. Try to make them as uniform in size as possible for even cooking.
4. In a large bowl, toss the potato strips with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, and salt until evenly coated.
5. Spread the seasoned potato strips in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, or until the fries are crispy and golden brown.
7. Once the fries are done, remove them from the oven and sprinkle shredded cheese over the top. Return the baking sheet to the oven for another 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
8. Remove the fries from the oven and transfer them to a serving plate.
9. Top the cheesy fries with diced tomatoes, onions, and jalapeños.
10. Serve hot with sour cream, guacamole, and salsa on the side for dipping.
