1.Chop up your potatoes into chips. Boil the chips in water for 5 minutes to soften them and drain the water from the pot. Dry the chips with kitchen paper. Preheat the oven to 180 c. Pop the chips on a tray and coat them in fry lite. Add 2 tablespoons of paprika, a pinch of salt and pepper to the chips to give them that extra kick after you add the fry lite. Cook the chips for 30 mins or until golden brown and crispy.
2. Fry off the onion, garlic & peppers with the fry lite. Add your lean mince and once it’s browned add the jalapeños (optional) and 1/2 cup of beef stock and simmer for 10-12 mins until cooked through.
3. If you want a spicier dish then add a tablespoon of chili-flakes to the mince as it cooks. Add the tomato purée and simmer for another 5 mins on a low heat.
4. Once your oven chips are ready to go, spoon the meat mixture on top of the chips and add a sprinkle of cheese. Add a dollop of your taco sauce on top. Enjoy!
Enjoy your taco chips guilt free!
