Chilli cheese fires were on my mind the other day but we had chilli the night before so, I improvised and made Taco fries instead! Super quick and easy to make! I made my "veggie meat" in the instant pot and fries in the ninja foodie grill but you can easily use the stove top oven to cook these (this recipe is written for cooking on the stove top and in the oven) Happy Eats!
