Ingredients
- 1 bag frozen waffle fries 22 oz
- 2 tbsp oil divided
- Buffalo sauce to taste
- ½ yellow onion diced
- 1 large tomato seeds removed and diced
- ½ cup chopped scallions
- ½ lb ground beef
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- ¾ cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- ¾ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 ripe avocado diced
- tortillas small or medium size
- sour cream optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven according to waffle fry package directions (typically 425°F). Toss fries with 1 tbsp oil and bake until golden and crispy, flipping halfway.
- While fries bake, heat 1 tbsp oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and sauté for 2–3 minutes.
- Add ground beef to skillet, cook until browned, and drain any excess fat. Stir in taco seasoning and water per packet instructions. Simmer for a few minutes.
- Meanwhile, prepare toppings: dice tomato and avocado, chop scallions, and mix Monterey Jack and cheddar cheeses.
- Warm tortillas in a dry skillet or oven.
- When fries are done, toss them in buffalo sauce immediately while hot.
- Assemble tacos by spooning seasoned beef into tortillas and topping with cheese, tomato, scallions, avocado, and sour cream if using.
- Serve tacos with buffalo fries on the side and enjoy!
Notes
For homemade buffalo sauce, mix ½ cup hot sauce with ¼ cup melted butter. Try Pepper Jack cheese for extra heat or swap beef for shredded chicken or steak.
