# How to Make It:
01 - Preheat the oven to 425°F.

03 - Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook, breaking it up, until browned for about 5–6 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed.
04 - Add chopped onion and garlic to the skillet; sauté for 2–3 minutes until softened.
05 - Stir in taco seasoning and water. Simmer for 2–3 minutes until thickened. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
06 - When fries are done, transfer them to an ovenproof platter or skillet.
07 - Evenly sprinkle shredded cheeses over the fries and spoon the beef mixture on top. Drizzle with nacho cheese sauce if using.
08 - Return to the oven for 5 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
09 - Remove from oven and top with tomatoes, black olives, jalapeños, avocado, green onions, cilantro, and dollops of sour cream.
10 - Serve immediately while hot.
