It is no secret that I love quick and easy meals. My site is full of them. What you may not know though is that I also love meals that I can keep in my freezer.
What I love about freezer meals is how easy dinner is on those crazy and busy days. Instead of grabbing take out, or a pizza, I can grab something from my freezer.
One of the most versatile things I keep in my freezer is taco meat. I can use it for tacos, taco pasta, over crock pot baked potatoes, as taco salad, on tater tot nachos, and more.
Today’s recipe is another recipe I love using freezer taco meat for. Taco Fries anyone?!
What I love about Taco Fries is that they are not only quick and easy to make, they are kid friendly. My kids love it when I serve these for dinner.
Really what could be bad about french fries covered in taco meat and cheese and then dipped in a simple sauce?!

We are a family of 9 soon to be 10. One of our daughters who is 6 was diagnosed with celiac 3 months ago. It has been life changing for all of us!! I have followed your blog and tried alot of your recipes. We had the taco fries last night and they were a huge hit! Thanks for the great gluten free recipes. You are an encouragement to us!
Thank you so much. I love to create food that is good and family friendly, that just happens to be gluten free. 🙂 Gluten free can be challenging and I am glad I can help make it a little easier.
