Ingredients
- 1 bag frozen French fries 20-ounces total

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit and cook the fries according to the package directions, until they are golden and crispy.
- While the fries are baking, prep the topping ingredients and cook the taco meat. Add the beef to a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the chili powder, onion powder, salt, and oregano and cook until the meat is no longer pink, about 10 minutes.
- Transfer the crispy fries to a serving platter and top with the hot taco meat. Sprinkle the cheese on top and let it melt.

Notes
- We've left out the amounts for the taco fries toppings on purpose. There is no right or wrong way to build your taco fries. Use more of the ingredients you love, less of those you don't, and leave out any you don't like. Or try adding things like guacamole, red onions, or pico de gallo. They're great, too!
