Fries are definitely one of the best inventions and even better when topped with all kinds of delicious and savory ingredients.  This loaded chorizo fries recipe is so darn good that my mouth waters just looking at the picture.  Like most of the recipes at Dukes and Duchesses, this one is quick and easy and perfect for game day, snack time, or even a quick and easy weeknight dinner.

To make a batch of loaded chorizo fries, you’ll need a package of frozen waffle fries {regular fries will work too but waffle fries make it easier to get a mouthful of toppings}, a package of pork chorizo, green onions, mozzarella cheese, cilantro, sliced pickled jalapeno peppers, and guacamole.

Bake the fries according to package directions and while they’re baking, cook the chorizo sausage.

In a skillet over medium high heat, crumble and cook until the chorizo is fully cooked and lightly browned.

When the fries come out of the oven, leave them on a baking sheet or transfer them to a platter if you prefer a nicer presentation and then start topping with the other ingredients.

Sprinkle with the mozzarella cheese {if it doesn’t melt right away, pop it back into the oven for a minute} …

… top with the crumbled, cooked chorizo …

… and sprinkle with the chopped cilantro and sliced green onions.

For a bit of additional flavor, serve with bowls of sliced jalapeno peppers and guacamole {homemade or storebought} …

… and dig in!  These loaded fries will have everyone quickly reaching for more!  In fact, you may want to make two platters!
