Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef , (85/15)
- 1 yellow onion , chopped
- 1 can ranch beans
- 1 cup enchilada sauce
- 1 cup tomato sauce
- 2 cups cheddar cheese , shredded
- 2 green onions , thinly sliced (optional)
- 6 Brioche buns
- 2 cups corn chips brand Fritos
Instructions
- Cook the ground beef and onions over medium heat, breaking it into crumbles, until onions are caramelized, about 5-6 minutes.
- Add tomato sauce, enchilada sauce, and beans. Cook until sauce reduces slightly and mixture is "sloppy" (this should take another 5-6 minutes).
- Top brioche bun with beef mixture, then cheddar cheese and Frito chips. Add green onions if desired.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- Use fresh ground beef and brown it thoroughly with onions to develop caramelized onion flavor.
- Serve the sandwich immediately after assembling to keep the Fritos corn chips crunchy.
- You can omit green onions if not preferred; they add a mild, fresh bite.
- Choose brioche buns for a tender, slightly sweet bread that holds up well to the moist filling.
