Pumpkin VoxBox & The Unbeatable Taco Fries

I've blogged about Influenster before, and I'll do it again. This incredible online company continues to send our family samples and free products to test, and the Pumpkin VoxBox was certainly a welcome surprise. It was full of really great products like Downy fabric softener, scented markers, delicious snack squares, and coupons to redeem for free products at my local grocery store.

Alexia was one of the companies that included a coupon for a free package of fries. We've had Alexia sweet potato fries before, so I wanted to try something new. The rosemary variety caught my eye, so those came home with us.



Along with the fry coupon, Yucatan Guacamole was another freebie that we picked up. Found in the refrigerated section, I was pleasantly surprised how fresh and flavorful this store bought guac tasted. I'm pretty particular about my guacamole, and I was rather surprised to find that this really measured up to my homemade recipe.


What better way to enjoy these two products than by creating a unique recipe that incorporates both?

So, I came up with these amazing taco fries. A spicy take on your typical chili/cheese fries, I topped the Alexia rosemary fries with seasoned taco meat, shredded cheese, fresh diced veggies, and a whopping scoop of Yucatan Guacamole.



Needless to say, these were delicious, and I think they would especially make a great meal for a sporting event or tailgate party. They were incredibly easy to throw together, and oh so satisfying.

The great thing about these fries is you can completely customize your dish to suite your preference. I used 1 pound of ground beef, 1/2 c. cheese, 1 small onion, about 1 c. cherry tomatoes, and a half of a cucumber. One whole bag of fries and that pound of meat was more than enough to feed our family of four. In fact, you could easily create 8 very filling portions!

Note: I received these products free from Influenster for testing purposes. These opinions are completely my own. I am not monetarily compensated for this post. #farmtoflavor #contest
