Ingredients

• 1 lb frozen French fries
• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tbsp taco seasoning
• 15 oz canned diced tomatoes (with green chilies, optional)
• 15 oz canned black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 cup canned corn, drained
• 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cup sour cream
• 2 tbsp green onions, chopped
• 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 tbsp vegetable oil (for greasing baking sheet)
• 0.25 tsp salt
• 0.25 tsp pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet with vegetable oil.

Step 2

Spread the frozen French fries evenly on the baking sheet and bake according to the package instructions, typically around 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through for even crispiness.

Step 3

While the fries bake, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up into crumbles, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 4

Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the ground beef. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion softens and becomes translucent.

Step 5

Stir in the taco seasoning, canned diced tomatoes, black beans, and corn. Mix well to combine and let the mixture simmer for 5-7 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed.

Step 6

Once the fries are golden and crispy, remove them from the oven and transfer them to a serving platter or keep them on the baking sheet for assembly.

Step 7

Spoon the taco chili mixture evenly over the fries. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top so it melts slightly from the heat of the chili.

Step 8

Add dollops of sour cream on top of the cheese for creaminess. Sprinkle with chopped green onions and fresh cilantro for a burst of freshness.

Step 9

Serve hot and enjoy your Taco Chili Fries with a fork or as finger food!
