2

Season the meat with spices, stirring well to combine, and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.

3

Fry or bake French fries according to package instructions until crispy.

4

Warm flour tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side.

5

Layer the tortillas with cooked meat, cheese, and a handful of French fries.

6

Drizzle sour cream and guacamole over the top, adding hot sauce to taste.

7

Sprinkle chopped onions, peppers, and tomatoes for freshness.

8

Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling and roll tightly to form a taco.

9

Place tacos seam-side down on a baking sheet and bake at 180°C (350°F) for 5-10 minutes until heated through and cheese is melted.

10

Serve with salad greens and lime wedges on the side.
