DIRECTIONS
- The day before, prepare the guac for maximum flavor development. In a bowl, combine all of the guac ingredients except for salt and pepper. Mash together with a fork, then taste, seasoning to your preference.
- Cook the fries to the manufacturer’s instructions after lightly spraying with Duck Fat Cooking Oil Spray and sprinkling lightly with your favorite seasoning salt.
- Preheat your grill to around 350°F (unless you used it to cook the fries in the first place). Place a cast-iron frying pan on the grill to preheat.
- Once the fries are ready, transfer them to your preheated cast iron pan layering cheese, beef, tomato, and onion. Place the loaded fries onto the grill and bake for 5 to 15 minutes, until all of the toppings are hot and melty.
- Finish the loaded fries with dollops of sour cream, homemade guacamole, green onion, and jalapeño, and watch this delightful snack disappear.
