Vegan Fiesta Fries
Friday is here! Let’s have a fiesta! And fries! Let’s have Vegan Fiesta Fries!
What are fiesta fries, you ask? Basically, they’re like loaded nachos but with French fries instead. My vegan fiesta fries are made with vegan queso from Loca Foods, and plant-based ground beef substitute. (If you’re only dairy-free but not vegan, you can sub in regular ground beef if you prefer.)
These fries are SO delicious and perfect for a Friday evening of binge-watching shows with the family or having friends over for a game of cards. You can top these based on your preferences, but I included a winning combo of tomatoes, onions, pickled jalapeño, cilantro, and spicy vegan mayo.
