Make Copycat Taco Bell Nacho Fries

Cook frozen fries in an air fryer following the directions on the package.

I like to cook mine at 400 degrees for about 20 minutes to get them nice and crispy.

Look for straight-cut, extra crispy, or restaurant style when picking fries for this recipe. My favorite type of fries are these Grown in Idaho Hand cut fries.

These fries are consistent in thickness, crisp really well in the air fryer, and hold the seasoning well.

Through testing this recipe, I have found that it’s best to get your fries really crispy in the air fryer! If you don’t have an air fryer you can cook your fries in the oven.

Once the fries are crispy, toss the fries in oil and all of the nacho fry seasonings.

Set the seasoned fries to the side and get ready to make your burritos.

These Copycat Nacho Fries are so good in the burritos, but they make an awesome side for anything you might make for Taco Tuesday!

Make Loaded Nacho Fry Burritos

While the fries are cooking, add 1 lb of ground beef, a chopped onion, and a chopped jalapeño to a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat.

Ground Beef, onion, jalapeno, taco seasonings

Add all of the taco seasonings. Once the beef is cooked through drain any extra grease.

Now it’s time to build your burritos!

Microwave some store bought nacho cheese.

Lay out a tortilla and add some sour cream, shredded cheese, nacho fries, ground beef, nacho cheese, and a little bit of hot sauce.

You will love this recipe because it’s delicious, easy to customize it to your family’s liking, and perfect for your next Taco Tuesday dinner!

Tips and Frequently Asked Questions

I like to use Grown in Idaho straight cut fries for this recipe because they’re the best frozen fries in my opinion, but any frozen fries will work! For the best results, be sure to pick a straight cut, crispy bag of fries.
Make sure to get the fries extra crispy for this recipe, I like to cook mine a couple minutes longer than the bag suggests.
Make sure to add the oil and seasoning while the fries are still hot.
The cornstarch will help the seasoning stick to the fries and coat the outsides, but it’s optional if you don’t have any on hand!
I like the seasoning blend I use on these, but you can adjust the seasonings accordingly. They do have a mild kick of heat. If you don’t want them as spicy leave out the cayenne pepper.
Any nacho cheese can be served with these. I usually use a can of Ricos Nacho cheese.
This recipe is a little bit spicy. To cut back on the spice you could leave out the jalapeño, cayenne pepper, and be sure to use a mild nacho cheese and taco sauce.
This recipe makes 4 large stuffed burritos and you should have some nacho fries leftover.
