How to Make Nacho Fries
Start by laying out your fries on a baking sheet and cook them in the oven as directed. While your french fries are cooking you will start to cook your ground beef and onions in a skillet. Stir in the taco seasoning and salsa once the meat is fully cooked.
Once fries are done, pile on some cheese, meat, and more cheese. Bake in the oven to melt the cheese. Once done remove and begin piling on the toppings you choose! Serve warm!
These fries are incredible, loaded with flavor and your favorite toppings.
Can I Prep These Fries Ahead of Time
I do not recommend fully cooking and storing your fries, but you can prep some parts. Go ahead and cook up your ground beef and stir in the taco seasoning, and salsa.
Store the meat mixture in the fridge until you are ready to pile it on the fries. Then you can top the fries with the cold meat, or reheat it in a skillet on the stove, then sprinkle over the fries.
You will just heat up the mixture in the oven as you would originally. Just ensure the meat is fully warmed before serving.

Do Loaded Nacho Fries Store Well
Unfortunately, this dish is one best-served one. The fries will become soggy as they cool down in the refrigerator. So only make enough for what you plan to eat.
If you have extra meat, just keep this separate and then use it to top more fries later and bake.
