[Fries] Supreme Victory

[Image: Me]

I am a sucker for fast-food. It’s convenient, salty, and not good for me, but it tastes so good. Mind you, I don’t eat it often for personal reasons; however, just like every other human being, you can’t help but fall victim to it’s fried, empty-calories especially when you’re stressed. Be it school, work, the daily grind of mid-20-something life, fast-food is that something that always makes the world a much better place, even if its just for the 15 minutes it takes you to eat it. This is why I am posting to you today. As much as I love fast-food, especially a certain chain that specializes in “authentic” Mexican, it gets pretty expensive, not only on my wallet, but also on my gut.

The “How-To” I’m about to suggest is NOT going to taste like the fast-food real thing; however, it’s a compromise between your craving, health, and wallet. And it’s fun to make!

What you’ll need in order to create this dish:

- French Fries
- Lean Ground Beef
- Queso (Cheese) Sauce
- Salsa
- Sour Cream
- Fresh Chives

The idea behind this "How-To" is to create the dish to your preference; therefore, dress the fries how you wish with the amount of ingredients that you prefer. For my own dish, I prefer to choose lower fat options (such as low-fat sour cream and lean ground beef) just so I can think I'm doing some good and seconds don't feel so bad :P

The first layer contains French Fries. I usually line the bottom of the plate to create a nice solid foundation for the toppings.

The second layer contains a ½ cup of ground beef, lightly seasoned with black pepper and pink Himalayan salt to taste.

The third layer consists of the Queso (cheese) Sauce. I recommend letting this simmer on low heat for easier use when it comes time to pouring the sauce over the fries.

The fourth layer consists of salsa. Mild, medium, hot, super hot, whatever your heart fancies, place the salsa atop the Queso sauce layer.

The fifth layer is for the sour cream. 2 tablespoons is more than sufficient, but, if you’re having one of those days, an extra spoon or three works just as well ;)

To finalize the Homemade Fries Supreme, we have fresh chives for that little extra zest. Finely chop the chives and sprinkle atop the sour cream for a lovely colourful accent, not that that really matters in the grand scheme of things. Meaning, you’re about to indulge in the greatest homemade creation of MANKIND! Well, granted, if you’re in the mood for a little fast-food without actually having to leave your house hahaha.

Is there a fast-food dish you enjoy creating?


Buon Appetito!
