What Do I Love About Cheesesteak Taco Fries?

I like greens and reds. I love the crispiness and the crunch. I love how the ground beef gets so tender with the taco seasoning and then soaked in all that melted cheese. Ah! Just love everything about it. But I really love that I can put something on the table in under an hour that looks like it took a lot of effort.

What Variations Can I Make with Cheesesteak Taco Fries?

Twists are always welcome in my kitchen. It keeps the fun alive for me! So, I’ve tried a few tweaks to the original recipe, and here are the ideas that worked great:

• Add chopped jalapenos for a fiery kick.
• Throw in some cilantro for a zesty flavor.
• Swap out the cheese, and use a combo of shredded pepper jack and cheddar.
• Serve them with a side of guacamole for a creamy finish.
• Add some bacon bits for a smoky crunch.

Ingredients: 

• Frozen waffle fries
• Ground beef
• Onion chopped
• Taco seasoning
• Shredded cheddar jack cheese

How to make Cheesesteak Taco Fries:

Step 1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. 

Step 2. Cook the waffle fries on a parchment-lined baking sheet for 20-25 minutes, or until crispy. 

Step 3. While the fries are cooking, cook the ground beef and onion over medium-high heat on the stove.

Cook until the meat is browned and the onions are softened. Drain any excess grease. 

Step 4. Lower the heat to low, and stir in the taco seasoning. Saute another few minutes, stirring to combine. 

Step 5. Top the fries with the beef mixture.

Then sprinkle with the cheese. 

Step 6. Bake for another 5-10 minutes. 

Step 7. Top with the green onions and tomatoes before serving. Next time you have friends over, make these Cheesesteak Taco Fries and watch their taste buds come alive.

Can I Make Cheesesteak Taco Fries Ahead of Time?

Yes, you absolutely can! You can make the ground beef base beforehand. Just cook the ground beef and season it with taco seasoning. Store it in the fridge in an airtight box for up to three days. When you’re ready to bake, just heat the base and assemble your Cheesesteak Taco Fries. Let the magic happen.

How to Store the Leftovers?

Well, there shouldn’t be any, LOL! But if you have any leftovers, keep them in an airtight box for about two days. Reheat the Cheesesteak Taco Fries in the oven or microwave until hot.

I don’t know. I feel the potatoes lose their crispiness and texture if they’re refrigerated. But you can always try it out first and see how it turns out.
