Directions

1Start off by cutting the fries into a thin French fry shape.
2Pat the fries dry, spray with some avocado oil, and season with salt.
3Air fry at 400 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes.
4Prepare the fries by soaking them in an ice bath for 30 minutes to remove excess starch (optional). Drain and pat dry.
5For air frying, preheat your air fryer to 400°F, lightly spray the fries with avocado oil spray, place in the air fryer basket, and cook for 15-20 minutes, shaking halfway through until crispy.
6For oven baking, preheat your oven to 425°F, lightly spray the fries with avocado oil spray, spread in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through until golden and crispy.
7While the fries are cooking, sear off some lean ground beef in a smoking hot pan.
8Season the ground beef with salt, taco seasoning, and garlic powder.
9Add a drizzle of water to the ground beef to keep it moist.
10Cook the beef by heating a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef, season with salt, taco seasoning, and garlic powder. Cook until browned, breaking it up as it cooks. Add 1/4 cup water and let it simmer until the liquid reduces. Remove from heat.
11Crisp the bacon strips in a pan or microwave. Once cooled, crumble them into pieces.
12Assemble your fries by arranging the crispy fries on a serving platter.
13Top with ground beef, low fat shredded cheddar cheese, crispy bacon, and green onions.
