Cooking Tips

• For extra crispy fries, you can double fry them. Fry them once at a lower temperature, then remove and let them cool. Fry them again at a higher temperature until golden and crispy.
• Feel free to customize the toppings to your liking. You can add jalapenos, diced tomatoes, or guacamole for extra flavor.
• If you prefer a spicier dish, you can add some hot sauce or crushed red pepper flakes to the chilli beef and beans mixture.

Storage and Serving

• Loaded fries are best served immediately while the fries are still crispy.
• If you have leftovers, you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
• To reheat, place the loaded fries in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until heated through.
• Serve the reheated loaded fries with additional toppings, such as fresh cilantro or diced avocado, to freshen up the flavors.
