French Fry Taco Shells

This Delicious Taco Brings Together a Hamburger and Fries in an Usual Way

The 'Vulgar Chef' has prepared a decadent french fry taco, which makes it even easier to eat a hamburger and fries. The delicious dish combines hamburger meat and other taco fillings inside of a clever french fry shell.

As the Vulgar Chef explains, this dish is surprisingly simple to make. He begins by chopping up french fries, mixing them with shredded cheese and then nuking them in the microwave. He then forms the fries into a circle shape and stuffs them with taco fillings. The result is a french fry taco shell that functions as the perfect vehicle for hamburger meat.

While the strange food mashup may seem like a bold experiment, this is not the first time the Vulgar Chef has combined popular fast food dishes. Some of his other creations include a spaghetti and meatballs taco, a Doritos-crust pizza and even mac and cheese fried chicken bites.
