Instructions

Cook the sweet potato waffle fries according to package directions.
Transfer the fries to a baking dish or cast iron pan. Top with shredded cheese, beans, corn, red onion, and tomato.
Bake at 350 degrees F, or broil on low, until the cheese is melted, about 5 minutes.
Drizzle with chipotle mayo, then garnish with fresh cilantro and queso fresco. Serve immediately.

Notes

Red onion and tomato: Produce sizes vary (as do tastes in loaded fries) so adjust these amounts as you see fit. We like to aim for equal parts tomato and onion.

Cooking sweet potato fries: We like to make them in our air fryer for the best crispy texture. It’s also faster, which we love. Whatever you do, don't skip this step! If you try to just add all the toppings to frozen fries and bake them, the cheese will be burnt and the toppings will be mushy by the time the fries are cooked through.

Assembly: Use a large enough pan to have a single layer of fries with slight overlapping. This will maximize the coverage of toppings so you get all the flavors in every bite.

Serving suggestions: Make these for a Super Bowl party, late night snack, or an appetizer or side dish for burger night!

Customization: Customize your loaded fries with other fresh toppings like jalapeno, bell pepper, or avocado! Really anything you would think to put on nachos will taste great on these fries.
