Mexican Taco Fries

There are so many Slimming World recipes that most members rave about and one I have really wanted to try was the Taco Fries recipe. I’ve never had taco fries before so I had no expectations but it turned out to be so easy and very tasty too.

Ingredients;

• 500g/600g less than 5% fat minced beef
• 2 small red onions, finely chopped
• 1 red pepper, finely chopped
• 1 tin chopped tomatoes
• 1 tbsp Worchester sauce
• 1 beef stock cube
• 8 lasagne sheets

Seasoning mix:

Mix all seasoning ingredients together & leave aside:

• 1/2 tsp chilli powder

• 1 tsp paprika

• 1/2 tsp salt

• 1/2 tsp cumin

• 1/2 tsp cayenne chilli powder

• 1/2 tsp garlic powder

• 1/2 tsp sweetener

• 1 tsp dried oregano

• 4 large potatoes chipped

Directions:

• Par-boil the lasagne sheets for a couple of mins till they start to soften. Cut them into triangle nacho shapes.
• Preheat the oven to 200 and line the oven tray with baking paper, lay nachos out and spray with Frylight, bake for approx. 10mins, turning half way throughout and re-spray, until golden brown.
• Add chips to the oven, sprayed with Frylight and seasoned to taste, bake for 30-40mins till golden.
• Fry the onion and pepper in Frylight until soften.
• Add the beef and fry until lightly browned.

• Add the tin of tomatoes and stir well, adding a little water if sauce looks dry.
• Simmer for 20 mins.

Taco Sauce:

Mix all the ingredients well until smooth and combined. Use more or less water depending on your own taste:

• 3 tablespoons of extra light mayo
• 3 tablespoons of fat free natural yogurt
• 2 tablespoons ketchup
• 1/2 tsp cayenne chilli pepper
• 1 tsp minced garlic
• 3-4 tablespoon water

Take a bowl/plate.

Layer chips first, then mince sauce, then taco sauce, then nachos and then cheese and voila!
