Nacho Normal Fries

Good Morning Foodies! It has been too long since my last blog post, please excuse me. I have been under the weather but I missed you guys so I wanted to push out at least one post. Currently I am sitting on the couch, drinking Earl Grey black tea with honey, wrapped in a blanket and sneezing every 5 seconds. However, I am still excited to share this recipe with you all! When I was a little girl, I use to add everything to my fries: cheese, beans, avocado, onions etc. And of course being me, I had to give this creation a name. I started calling them Nacho Normal Fries because even as a kid I was corny but the name stuck and I love it! This dish is beyond easy to make and perfect for those days you don’t really feel like cooking but you want something good to eat.

What You Need:

• 4 Large potatoes (serves 2-3)
• 1 Cup cheddar cheese
• 1/2 Red onion, diced
• 1 Roma tomato, diced
• 1 Jalapeno, diced
• 1 Handful of cilantro, chopped
• 1 1/2 tsp of olive oil
• 1 tbs of Garlic powder
• 1 tsp of black pepper
• 1 tsp of paprika
• 1 tsp of oregano
• 1/2 tsp salt
• Optional: Salsa & avocado

Method:

• First thing you want to do is rinse your potatoes, leave the skin on.
• Cut potatoes in wedges (does not have to be perfect) and place on a baking pan
• Add olive oil and seasonings on top of potatoes and mix with your hands until every wedge is covered.
• Place in the oven on 400 degrees for 20-25 minutes.
• Dice tomato, onions and jalapeno. Chop cilantro
• Remove from oven, potatoes should be golden in color, and crispy. Add cheese and toss back into the oven for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow cheese to melt.
• Take potatoes back out of the oven and top them with your diced veggies and cilantro.
• Optional to add salsa on top and avocado as well (they are great with of without it!)
• Enjoy!
