We have this wonderful little summer-time restaurant where I live called “The Ice Cream Hut”. It’s a small privately owned business that is only open spring, summer & fall and has great burgers, fries & ice cream. My Mom has found a recipe that is very similar to the taco fries that we can get at “The Hut”. I hope your family enjoys this cheesy, spicy way to have their fries as much as ours do! 🙂
Taco Fries

4
Ingredients
- Ingredients:
- 1 package gluten-free frozen french fries (enough to cover cookie sheet)
- 1-1 1/4 lbs. lean ground beef

- 2 Tbsp cornstarch
- 2 cups water
- shredded cheddar cheese

Just wanted you to know that this is one of the recipes I plan on making for Book of Yum's Adopt A Gluten Free Blogger event for January! I showed my 3 1/2 year old a bunch of different pictures and this was the first one he picked out 🙂

Karen, so glad that your boy is interested in this recipe! Who doesn't like french fries smoothered in cheese & taco beef?? 🙂 Since those are things you can't order when eating out because of the fear of cross contamination & flour in the gravy, it's nice to have these treats at home occasionally.

I made these recently using your recipe. I found it didn't have the smothering effect like at the hut, so I mixed it with a GF beef gravy and it was perfect! Thanks for the recipe!
