1

Bake the fries

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Spread a bag of frozen French fries on a baking sheet, making sure they are evenly spaced. Bake according to the package instructions until they are golden and crispy.

2

Prepare the toppings

While the fries are baking, it's time to prepare the delicious toppings. Grab your favorite jar of salsa, a can of black beans (rinsed and drained), sliced jalapenos, chopped fresh cilantro, and some shredded cheese. You can use cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a blend of both for an extra cheesy kick.

3

Load 'em up

Once the fries are done baking, transfer them to a large serving platter or individual plates. Pile on the salsa, black beans, sliced jalapenos, and chopped cilantro. Be as generous as you like! Don't forget to sprinkle on a mountain of shredded cheese.

4

Broil to perfection

Place the loaded fries under the broiler for a few minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Keep a close eye on them to avoid burning – nobody wants charred cheese!

5

Garnish and serve

Remove the loaded fries from the broiler and let them cool for a minute or two. Now it's time to add some finishing touches! Sprinkle some extra chopped cilantro on top for added freshness. And for an extra Tex-Mex touch, dollop on some sour cream or guacamole. It's time to dig in and enjoy!
