Tips
- Cook the beef for 5-7 minutes on high heat until fully browned, use a spatula to break it up then add all the spices, tomato paste, and jalapenos.
- Mix the beef for another 2-3 minutes until it gets golden brown.
- Make the nacho cheese sauce on low heat, mix on low heat until it thickens and becomes cheesy.
- You can store this sauce in a bottle, but you’ll have to heat it up again to use as it will harden once cooled.
- Store the side salad in a separate container then serve when ready to eat. It can last for 4-5 days!
- Reheat the beef and fries in a pan or if you want the fries crispier just air fry for 4-5 minutes.
