I don’t know what it is about Mexican food, but I never seem to tire of it. That said, there are times when I tire of the “same old way” of Mexican food preparation.
When we eat at a Mexican restaurant, I love to try new dishes, but they aren’t always those I would prepare at home, or at least not ones I always trust myself to make successfully.
So, when we eat Mexican food at home, it tends to be tortillas with meat and all the toppings. Alternatively, we make taco salad and substitute tortilla chips for the tortillas. Don’t get me wrong, these are delicious options. But sometimes changing it up a bit is nice!
That’s why I stepped outside of my box and prepared a taco dip with waffle fries, and not just any waffle fries, but those seasoned with a chili lime flavoring.
Of course, I’ve made a taco dip before. I’ve just never paired it with waffle fries. Yes, there’s a first time for everything, and this won’t be my last.
I love the simplicity and versatility of this recipe, and the fact that it can feed a small group or a large crowd. And while you get the crunch when you pair tortilla chips with taco dip, you don’t get the crunchy outside and soft, warm inside like you do with waffle fries.
The initial crunch of the waffle fry transitions into a soft and fluffy texture that really completes the experience of this dish.
Want some protein? No problem, just add seasoned taco meat. Want gluten-free? This recipe can help. Want something satiating? “Taco Dip with Chili Lime Waffle Fries” will not disappoint. Don’t believe me? Give it a whirl! You’ve got nothing to lose.
