Nacho fries may be on the Taco Bells menu one minute... gone the next, so I created an at-home version AND did it using the air fryer. If you are still inclined to deep-fry, double the amount of seasoning as most will get lost in the hot oil.
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.25 teaspoons chili powder , or more to taste
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.13 teaspoons onion powder
- 0.13 teaspoons garlic powder
- 8 ounces frozen French fries , such as Ore-Ida®
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
- 0.5 jars nacho Cheddar cheese sauce , 15 ounce

Preheat an air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) according to manufacturer's instructions.

Stir paprika, chili powder, salt, onion powder, and garlic powder together in a small bowl.
