Instructions

Prepare the Fry Seasoning: In a small bowl, combine paprika, chili powder, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, and optional cayenne pepper. Stir well until the mixture is evenly blended and set aside.
Cook the Ground Beef: Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the ground beef. Cook, stirring occasionally, until no pink remains. Drain excess grease. Sprinkle taco seasoning over the meat and add ¼ cup water. Stir to combine and remove from heat.
Fry the French Fries: In a separate pan, heat vegetable oil to 350°F over medium heat. Carefully add the frozen French fries in batches to prevent overcrowding. Fry for about 7 minutes, turning frequently to ensure even cooking, until they are golden brown and crispy.
Heat Cheese and Beans: While fries are cooking, heat the nacho cheese sauce and refried beans separately in microwave-safe dishes until warm. Set aside.
Drain and Season Fries: Once fries are cooked to your liking, use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil and place on paper towels to drain excess oil. Repeat with remaining fries. Transfer fries to a large bowl, sprinkle the prepared seasoning over them, and toss until evenly coated.
Assemble the Nacho Fries: Place the seasoned fries on a serving plate. Layer evenly with warm nacho cheese sauce, refried beans, ground beef taco meat, pico de gallo, sour cream, guacamole, and chipotle sauce to complete the 7 layers.

Notes

Fry the French fries on the crispier side for sturdiness to hold the toppings without becoming soggy.
For variety, substitute waffle fries or thick-cut potato wedges instead of standard fast food fries.
