"These delicious, crispy fries coated with a Mexican seasoning and served with a cup of nacho cheese sauce are a perfect guilty indulgence when regular french fries just aren't hitting the right way. But what if it's too late to go to Taco Bell? Or what if it's one of those times when the chain has taken them off the menu again? We've got just the thing to help you whip up your own Taco Bell Nacho Fries at home."
"As it turns out, there is an easy way to make nacho fries at home. Simply place your desired amount of frozen french fries in a bowl and drizzle with a tiny bit of vegetable oil to coat them. Then, all you need is paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt for your homemade seasoning. Toss the fries with the seasoning and cook in your air fryer for about 10 minutes or until they're as crispy as you like."
"Making nacho fries that mimic Taco Bell's version at home is simple yet strangely more complex than you would think. These are just fries with a dash of Taco Bell's Mexican seasoning, but getting the flavor just right is where the challenge lies. Many have offered up their version of the seasoning online, but the results often fall short of the real thing."
Nacho Fries debuted at Taco Bell in 2018 and are crispy fries coated in Mexican seasoning served with nacho cheese sauce. Recreating Taco Bell's version at home requires reverse engineering because the chain does not share its recipe. A simple method uses frozen french fries tossed with a bit of vegetable oil and a seasoning blend of paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. Cook the seasoned fries in an air fryer about 10 minutes or until crispy. Some recipes suggest adding coriander, cumin, or cheese powder, though cheese powder is not used by Taco Bell. Taco Bell offered a vegan Nacho Fries in 2023.
