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.

- 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
- ½ , 15 ounce
