FAQs

  1. Can I use frozen waffle fries instead of fresh? Yes, frozen waffle fries can be used, but adjust the baking time according to package instructions.
  2. Can I make this recipe spicier? Absolutely! Add hot sauce or jalapeños to the beef mixture for an extra kick of spice.
  3. Are corn or flour tortillas better for the tacos? It’s a personal preference, but corn tortillas offer a more authentic taste, while flour tortillas are softer and more pliable.
