Instructions

• In a small bowl combine the meat seasoning: 1 1/2 tablespoon masa harina, 4 1/2 teaspoons chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt, 1/2 teaspoon paprika, 1/4 teaspoon cumin, 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt, 1/4 teaspoon sugar, 1 teaspoon dried minced onion, and 1/2 teaspoon beef bouillon powder. Stir until evenly mixed and set aside.
• In a second small bowl combine the fries seasoning: 2 tablespoons paprika, 2 teaspoons salt, 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1 teaspoon garlic powder (do not use garlic salt), and 1 teaspoon onion powder (do not use onion salt). Stir to combine and set aside.
• Optional: if you want a finer texture, pulse either seasoning blend in a spice grinder or mini food processor, then return to its bowl. Any leftover seasoning can be stored in a shaker or airtight container.
• Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high. Crumble in 1 1/3 pounds ground chuck and cook, stirring and breaking up the meat, for about 9 to 10 minutes or until no pink remains.
• Drain excess fat from the cooked beef. Return the pan to medium-low heat, add the prepared meat seasoning from step 1, and stir thoroughly to coat the meat. Cook 1–2 minutes on low to bloom the spices, then remove from heat and keep warm.
• Cook 1 pound Ore-Ida Extra Crispy Frozen Fast Food Fries according to the package directions (oven or air fryer) and finish them fully per those instructions.
• While the fries are cooking or immediately after they come out, sprinkle them liberally with the fries seasoning from step 2 and toss or shake gently to coat evenly.
• Make the nacho cheese: in a small pot over low heat melt 1 tablespoon butter, add 1/2 cup whole milk and warm gently (do not boil). Add 8 ounces American cheese (cut into pieces for quicker melting) and stir until smooth. Stir in 1 tablespoon Tabasco Jalapeno sauce (or the juice from a jar of jalapeno slices). Keep the sauce warm on the lowest heat, stirring occasionally.
• To assemble, place the seasoned fries on a large platter. Pour the warm nacho cheese over the fries, then evenly top with the seasoned ground beef from step 5.
• Finish with toppings: add 1/2 cup guacamole, 1/2 cup sour cream, 1/2 cup chopped tomatoes, roasted corn kernels, chopped green onions, and pickled sliced jalapenos as desired. Serve immediately.
