Loaded Mexican Street Fries .. SOOO Addicting

Skip the nachos – these Loaded Mexican Street Fries are so delicious and addicting!  Baked Mexican-spiced fries piled high with juicy-shredded beef, salsa, guacamole, and Cotija cheese. 

Let’s take a little trip south of the boarder today and indulge in some Loaded Mexican Street Fries.

Ok, ok, a last minute trip to go eat some Mexican street food isn’t practical, but we can most definitely eat like we’re there. And maybe if we close our eyes and let our imaginations run wild, we can pretend we are there too.

So, Loaded Mexican Street Fries.

I was going to share a loaded nacho recipe with you guys for my Cinco de Mayo recipe-themed week but,  that seemed a little basic. I wanted something different and fun and epic.

AND these Loaded Mexican Street Fries, my friends, are epic.  Seriously.

Every layer of this platter is delicious on its own, but when they’re all piled up on top of each other, they create an amazing and addicting dish for fry lovers everywhere!

These street fries start with a bed of baked Mexican-spiced fries. Yes, I said baked – let’s not forget summer is only a month away… (you can also go with baked sweet potato fries. your life, your choice!).

The fries are then piled high with shredded beef, guac, salsa, and Cotija. Then, cilantro, jalapenos, radishes, and lime are the finishing touches to this epic taco-meets-fry situation.

You could also add black beans, corn, crema, and/or pretty much anything else you could think of.

So, grab an ice cold Corona and let’s dive face-first into these Loaded Mexican Street Fries.
