Description
Crispy golden fries topped with tender, saucy birria, melted cheese, creamy guacamole, and fresh green onions. These Loaded Birria Fries are a Mexican-inspired comfort food masterpiece — rich, spicy, and irresistibly indulgent.
Ingredients
For the Fries:
4 large russet potatoes (or Yukon gold)
1 cup avocado oil (or vegetable/canola oil)
Salt, to taste
For the Toppings:
2 cups birria meat (beef or goat)
1 cup birria consomé
1 cup grated English white cheddar (or Monterey Jack)
1 cup guacamole (or sour cream)
1/4 cup chopped green onions (or chives)
Instructions
- Prepare the Fries: Peel and cut potatoes into 1/4-inch fries. Rinse in cold water and pat dry.
- First Fry: Heat avocado oil to 325°F (160°C). Fry potatoes in batches for 4–5 minutes until softened but not browned. Drain on paper towels and rest for 10 minutes.
- Second Fry: Increase oil temperature to 375°F (190°C). Fry potatoes again for 2–3 minutes until golden and crispy. Drain and season with salt.
- Assemble: Spread fries on a platter, top with hot birria meat, drizzle with birria consomé, and sprinkle with grated cheese.
- Garnish: Add dollops of guacamole and finish with chopped green onions. Serve immediately while hot and melty.
Notes
Use store-bought frozen fries for a quicker version.
Top with chipotle crema, jalapeños, or pickled onions for extra flavor.
Make it vegetarian with mushrooms or jackfruit cooked in birria spices.
Swap in cheese sauce or queso for an extra gooey texture.
Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 15–18 minutes for a lighter option.
Store birria and fries separately and assemble fresh before serving.
