What To Do With a Mountain of Taco Meat? Taco Fries!
That's right, taco fries. Like chili fries, but with taco meat. Some red onion, cheddar cheese, sour cream, fresh cilantro, a little lettuce to make it healthy and... yeah. It's awesome. I'll be making it again and again. Probably fairly soon. Heh, see, I made two and a quarter pounds of taco meat the other day. I had this big chunk of frozen beef and didn't feel like dealing with hacking at it to get a more reasonable amount, so I just did it up. I still have one and a half pounds or so that I didn't finish in the freezer. I made burritos with it too, I'll post about those some other time. I'll probably make a casserole as well, taco casserole is a good time. I'd give you guys the recipe, but I didn't really have one. One thing I did though is I used about a half a cup of chicken stock in it. That gave it some richness without fat, it was really good. I also used a small can of tomato sauce, garlic, cilantro, cumin, paprika, chili powder. You know, Mexican style stuff. I think there was more in there too, but I really can't remember. Some day I'll do it with just one pound and get measurements so I can post it for real. Anyway, I strongly suggest you do it with your favorite taco meat recipe.

How interesting and creative! I would have probably used them for a pasta dish or make some taco meat filled spring rolls.
I’ve been really into trying all different methods for making meat lately, this will have to be next on my list!Thanks for sharing..
Yum! Those look good! I love cheese fries or tots heh. And taco meat is delish, but I usually pig out on nachos and never have any left. Heh. I could live on nachos.
YUMMMM! they're almost like chili cheese fries, but not!
DELISH!

Mmmm, Fries With Stuff. I even think my definition of "chili" is even sufficiently vague to call these chili fries.
Oy, editing fail. *hangs head in shame*
I'll eat any kind of fries, anytime, any place.
I would have made a large "burnt cheese puddle" and put the taco meat on top. Mmmmm....burnt cheese puddle tacos...
Oh, yum. I want this. Now. Well maybe not now. I just ate. But soon. Yes. haha
Oh good lord this would have gone with the tacoritos....snap.
nice solution - put a little more cheese on mine and load me up!
Delicious and creative. You'll have to try poutine soon!
Those remind me of San Diego..they are everywhere down there..but with carne asada..they look great Bob!

Love nachos piled with taco meat, and french fries sound just about perfect too. Great idea.
