Crinkle Fry Nachos Blanco with Sriracha Peach Queso – a tangy, sweet and spicy update on a traditional nacho, using crispy french fries and a unique peach queso!
We have had some very cold weather in Portland this month, and crazy foggy days! It was a perfect time for me to be working with Alexia Foods, because I got to make all kinds of tasty warm dishes while creating recipes with their product. Roasted Crinkle Cut Fries for lunch while it is zero degrees with wind chill outside? Yes please and thank you!
I am excited to be sharing a new queso recipe with you today. My Sriracha Peach Queso is new because I am only just now sharing it, but we have been enjoying this since summer. When I had fresh peaches. Very slightly sweet when you get a small bite of peach, with a spicy heat that you control. Start small with the sriracha, or boldy add several tablespoons if you love it like we do.
I poured the warm queso (oh, so good warm!) over some simple yet flavorful nachos – made with white beans, creamy avocado, tangy peperoncini, and crinkle cut fries. Yes, you know me and my non traditional nachos. These cover all the mealtime bases – proteins and veggies and starches, oh my – so they are perfectly suitable for lunch, dinner, and any major football games you may have in your future. The fact that these roasted crinkle cut fries are 98% fat free and only 100 calories per serving is just a plus.
