Meat and Toppings
- 1 pound hamburger meat
- Taco seasoning (amount per seasoning packet instructions)
- Cheese (shredded, quantity as desired)
Instructions
- Cook the fries: Prepare the seasoned fries according to the package instructions until they are crispy and golden brown.
- Brown the meat: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the hamburger meat until browned, breaking it up with a spoon.
- Season the meat: Add the taco seasoning to the browned meat along with any required water or ingredients as per the taco seasoning packet, stirring well to combine and let it simmer to absorb flavors.
- Melt the cheese: Sprinkle shredded cheese evenly over the seasoned meat in the skillet. Cover the skillet briefly to allow the cheese to melt completely.

Notes
- You can customize the toppings by adding jalapeños, sour cream, guacamole, or salsa for extra flavor.
- For a healthier option, bake the fries instead of frying.
- Use shredded cheddar or a Mexican cheese blend for authentic taste.
- Ground turkey or chicken can substitute hamburger meat for a leaner variation.
