Taco Fries Delight: A Budget-Friendly and Kid-Approved Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 1 McCormick mild taco seasoning pack
  • Tortillas, cut into fry-like size
  • Oil for frying tortilla pieces
  • Deer burger or preferred ground meat
  • Toppings of your choice (e.g., shredded cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, salsa, sour cream)

Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Taco Seasoned Meat

  1. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the deer burger or ground meat until browned and cooked through.

Step 2: Create Taco Fries from Tortillas

  1. Cut the tortillas into fry-like strips. You can achieve this by stacking the tortillas and then slicing them into thin strips.

Step 4: Serve and Enjoy

  1. Present your taco fries creation to your hungry audience.
  2. Allow everyone to personalize their portion with additional toppings if desired.
  3. Dive in and savor the delightful combination of seasoned meat, crispy tortilla fries, and a medley of toppings.
