Recipe Notes
Nacho Fries Tips
- Use Air Fryer Frozen French Fries for the best texture and tasting fries! It's also the quickest and healthiest way to have french fries.
- Always assemble the nacho fries recipe right before serving to avoid soggy tasting fries.
- Be as generous as you cant with the toppings and customize them to your taste.
- If you prep in advance, this recipe can take you 12 minutes to make!
How to Make Nacho Fries in Advance?
- Have your beef ready. Use the same blend I used for Crunchwrap Supreme or Jalapeño Poppers. Better off make these using Birria Tacos meat for an explosion of flavors! Also try Carne Asada Fries!
- Always keep a jar of Nacho Cheese Sauce Recipe in your fridge, some 10 minute food processor Homemade Salsa for a happy day :)
- The toppings can be chopped/diced while the fries are air frying.
Variations on Nacho Fries
My all time favorite would be to use Birria Tacos meat for this recipe! OMG the flavors! I almost always have leftover Birria meat and I even make Birria Pizza, Birria Ramen with those leftovers. Not to mention Lamb Birria :) You can also try using leftover Sheet Pan Fajitas, Fajita Bowl chicken for a new variation!
Try adding more veggies like roast veggies, swap the cheeses in the Nacho cheese sauce like Monterey Jack or your favorite, also swap the size and shape of fries.
How to store Nacho Fries?
It's best to assemble the plate right before serving and leftovers don't do well because the fries can get soggy. The best suggestion is to separate the toppings from the fries when storing them in the fridge. To reheat, always crisp your fries in the air fryer for 5 minutes and then add the toppings.
More on how to reheat each ingredient and how to store/prep, you can read more on each article. For the fries, Air Fryer Frozen French Fries, for the cheese sauce, Nacho Cheese Sauce Recipe, for the meat, this Crunchwrap Supreme.
