Baked Nacho Fries

Taco Bell’s nacho fries are back and here to stay thanks to my homemade, baked version!

Jump to recipe

These baked, taco seasoned, fries are inspired by none other than the Taco Bell Nacho Fries. Despite my love for Taco Bell, I somehow have yet to try the original version of these nacho fries myself. My husband said they taste different than mine but they are still crazy good. Good enough for me!

I hear they would pair well alongside my homemade beefy 5-layer burrito or crunchwrap supreme burgers. Sounds like a solid meal plan to me!

Want to make these even easier? Skip cutting the potatoes and instead toss pre-cut frozen fries in olive oil and the taco seasoning. 

Don’t want to make homemade nacho cheese? Snag a jar from the store and you’re ready to dip on in there. See, I’m just looking out for you.

If those steps are still too much effort then all I can suggest is hopping in your car and heading to your nearest Taco Bell drive thru – haha!
