Ingredients
  

  • 2 large russet potatoes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 cup cooked birria meat shredded
  • 1 cup birria broth
  • 1 cup shredded cheese cheddar or Monterey Jack
  • 1/2 cup diced onions
  • 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1 jalapeño sliced (optional)
  • Lime wedges for serving

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Wash and peel the russet potatoes, then cut them into thin fries.
  3. In a large bowl, toss the fries with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika until evenly coated.
  4. Spread the fries in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
  5. While the fries are baking, heat the birria broth in a small saucepan over medium heat.
  6. Once the fries are done, remove them from the oven and drizzle the warm birria broth over the fries.
  7. Top the fries with shredded birria meat and shredded cheese. Return to the oven for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  8. Remove from the oven and garnish with diced onions, chopped cilantro, sour cream, diced tomatoes, and jalapeño slices if desired.
  9. Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
