Loaded Chilli Cheese Fries

13 Steps

  • Step 1

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  • Step 2

    Wash and cut the potatoes into thin fries.

  • Step 3

    Spread the fries out on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.

  • Step 4

    Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden and crispy.

  • Step 5

    While the fries are baking, make the chilli. Heat up the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and bell pepper, sauté for a few minutes then add the ground beef. Cook until browned and no longer pink, breaking up the meat with a spatula as it cooks.

  • Step 7

    Add the cream cheese to the skillet and stir until melted and fully combined with the beef mixture.

  • Step 8

    Once the fries are done, remove them from the oven and transfer them to an oven safe dish or tray.

  • Step 9

    Spoon the chilli on top of the fries, spreading it out evenly.

  • Step 10

    Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the chilli.

  • Step 11

    Place the dish back in the oven for a few minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  • Step 12

    Top the loaded fries with sliced jalapeño, diced avocado, chopped green onion and or cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice.

  • Step 13
