INGREDIENTS
- Basic Chilli Con Carne Recipe (see below)
- Tomato Ketchup (8 oz)
- Mayonnaise (8 oz)
- Worcester Sauce (Dash)
- Grated Cheese (4 oz)
- 3 Baking Potatoes
- Oil (to roast)
DIRECTIONS
- Start by making the Pink Sauce. Simply mix together the Ketchup, Mayonnaise and a few dashes of Worcester Sauce then set aside.
- Meanwhile, prepare the Chilli by using the Chilli Con Carne Recipe (fry up the ingredients, leaving to simmer then rest).
- Whilst the Chilli is simmering, prepare the Chips by heating some Oil in an oven tray on 425F, and chopping the Potatoes into Wedges.
- Once the Oil is heated, carefully toss the Wedges in the oven tray and cook for 30-40 minutes (stirring occasionally).
- Once the Chilli and Wedges are cooked, serve by layering the ingredients. Starting with the Potato Wedges, Chilli Con Carne, Pink Sauce, then a sprinkling of grated Cheese - Voila - Taco Fries!
NOTE
- This is more of a Gourmet version so if you're not a fan of Wedges then just cut your potatoes into the shape of standard fries. Cook for 20 minutes, flip and cook another 15 - 20 minutes. Depending on how big you make them they may be done sooner. Keep an eye on them.
- You could also cheat and just buy frozen fries. Follow the directions on the bag for cooking.
