Queso Chorizo With Waffle Fries Food

MEXI-MAC BURGERS AND WAFFLE FRIES WITH TACO SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F with rack above center.
• Gather your ingredients.
• For the waffle fries: Line a baking sheet with parchment, scatter the waffle fries and place in oven to cook 25 minutes. Give the pan a shake or the fries a flip once, midway. In a small ramekin, combine about 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, the cumin, chili powder, coriander and granulated garlic. Thinly slice the scallions. To serve, toss fries with spices.
• For the special sauce: In a small bowl, combine sour cream and ketchup. Remove the jalapenos from brine, place on cutting board and add a small splash of brine to sauce. Finely chop peppers and stir into sauce.
• For the burgers: Preheat large cast-iron skillet or griddle over medium-high heat.
• Peel and grate garlic and a quarter of the onion -- save the remaining onion for topping. Cut casing off from fresh chorizo and place in bowl. Add beef and season with salt, pepper, grated garlic and onion and Worcestershire sauce. Combine the sausage and beef. Score the meat into 4 sections. Form 4 meat patties thinner at center than the edges for even cooking. Drizzle the patties with oil.
• Chop the remaining onion and chop some lettuce, about 2 cups.
• Crisp the patties and cook 4 to 5 minutes. Flip the patties and top with a slice of both cheeses and cook another 2 to 3 minutes.
• To build burgers: bun bottom, onions, pickles, lettuce, patties, special sauce, bun top. Pile the fries alongside and top with taco sauce and reserved scallions.
• Add ice, mezcal, juices and simple syrup to a cocktail shaker. Shake or stir then drain into a highball full of ice. Top with a splash of seltzer.

CHORIZO AND CHEESE LOADED FRIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Evenly spread the frozen fries on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake until lightly browned, 15 to 20 minutes.
• While the fries are baking, brown the chorizo. Cook the chorizo in a large skillet over medium-high heat, using a wooden spoon to break it up, until browned, 7 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel lined plate to drain.
• Make the crema. Whisk together the sour cream, grated garlic and a few teaspoons of water to create a thick sauce.
• Top the fries with the chorizo, manchego, mozzarella and pimentos. Bake until the fries are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly, 10 to 15 minutes. Drizzle with the crema and top with fresh parsley.

LOADED WAFFLE FRY NACHOS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C).
• Spread the fries in an even layer on a baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until crispy.
• Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the red and green bell pepper and sauté for 4 minutes, or until softened and starting to blister. Add the ground beef and taco seasoning and cook for 4 minutes, breaking up the beef into small pieces, until browned and cooked through. Remove the pan from the heat. Add the Pace® Chunky Salsa and stir until fully incorporated.
• Reduce the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C).
• In a 12-inch cast iron skillet, arrange half of the waffle fries in an even layer. Spoon half of the beef mixture over the fries, then drizzle with half of the Pace® Queso Blanco and sprinkle with ¼ cup shredded cheese. Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make another layer.
• Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 20 minutes, until the cheese is melted, light brown, and crispy on the top.
• Remove the skillet from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes. Garnish the nachos with the avocado and cilantro.
• Enjoy!

SUNNY'S 5-INGREDIENT MUSSELS AND GARLIC-PARSLEY FRIES

Steps:

• For the mussels: In a large pot on medium heat, add the olive oil and chorizo. Break up the chorizo while cooking to create fine crumbles. Season with a nice pinch of salt and ground pepper and cook, stirring, until the bits and pieces are crisp, 5 to 8 minutes.
• Add the wine, bring to a simmer and simmer for a few minutes. Stir in the cream. Immediately add the mussels and cover the pot with a lid. Jiggle the pot a bit to coat with the liquid on the bottom. Steam until most of the mussels are opened, about 5 minutes. Discard ones that do not open in the steaming process.
• For the fries: Fry the shoestring French fries according to the package instructions.
• Add the oil, garlic and a few grinds of pepper to a large bowl. Mix and mash to combine. Add the hot fries to the bowl and toss while sprinkling with the parsley. Serve with mayonnaise for dipping.
• Sprinkle the mussels with the cilantro and serve with the fries.
