Ingredients

4 servings

•

1 bag Waffle Fries
•

2 tablespoons olive oil
•

⅔ cup red bell pepper
•

⅔ cup green bell pepper, diced
•

½ lb ground beef
•

2 teaspoons taco seasoning

•

1 ½ cups Pace® Chunky Salsa
•

1 cup Pace® Queso Blanco
•

½ cup shredded mexican cheese blend
•

1 avocado, for topping, diced
•

¼ cup fresh cilantro, for topping, roughly chopped

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C).
Spread the fries in an even layer on a baking sheet. Bake for 20–25 minutes, until crispy.
Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the red and green bell pepper and sauté for 4 minutes, or until softened and starting to blister. Add the ground beef and taco seasoning and cook for 4 minutes, breaking up the beef into small pieces, until browned and cooked through. Remove the pan from the heat. Add the Pace® Chunky Salsa and stir until fully incorporated.
Reduce the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C).
In a 12-inch cast iron skillet, arrange half of the waffle fries in an even layer. Spoon half of the beef mixture over the fries, then drizzle with half of the Pace® Queso Blanco and sprinkle with ¼ cup shredded cheese. Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make another layer.
Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 20 minutes, until the cheese is melted, light brown, and crispy on the top.
Remove the skillet from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes. Garnish the nachos with the avocado and cilantro.
Enjoy!
