The Ultimate Layered Chilli Cheese Fries

The Ultimate Sharing Tray of Layered Chilli Cheese Fries for a perfect family meal!!

I love chilli cheese fries - Perfect Crispy Chips, topped with chilli, cheese, chopped fresh tomatoes, fire-roasted chillies and spring onion. Served alongside crisp lettuce and some yummy soured cream - what more could one ask for?

Better yet!! I have several delicious Chilli Recipes to choose from, so if you make one of these recipes and have plenty of chilli left over, these Chilli Cheese Fries are a must. 

Choose from one of these Chilli Recipes:

• Beef and Six Bean Chilli
• Instant Pot Chocolate Chilli
• Beef and Roasted Butternut Squash Chilli
• Chilli Con Carne
• Sweet Potato, Vegetable and Lentil Chilli
• Turkey Chilli

I must mention that my kids favourite chilli recipe from the ones about is the Beef and Six Bean Chilli - they just love it and no matter how large a batch of it I make, I rarely get leftovers to freeze. I think it it's the combination of the sweet potato and the mixed beans that they just love. 

Chilli Cheese Fries is a great dish for sharing, but if you are not a sharer, then you can enjoy this all by yourself too by making up a single portion, just don't eat it in front of anyone, or else they'll be digging in too and that would just be mean and rude. (of them!!).

Layered dishes like this Chilli Cheese Fries, where you get a different taste with every mouthful are delicious, especially if you can get a little bit of everything on the fork at once. 

Now there is a challenge for you!!!

Speaking of challenges - I once set a challenge with a friend at the cinema on how many starbursts (opal fruits at the time) we could fit in our mouth at once (we was bored waiting for the movie to start), I won't tell you who lost, that's a whole other story. But I love a challenge.

Totally unrelated to Chilli Cheese Fries of course, but sometimes the most random of things can pop into your head when you are thinking about something else and well I just love the share.

Now onto the soured cream, if you are willing to spend some points on it, I recommend you do, as it just has a taste that can't be recreated with yoghurt and lemon juice, the yoghurt is an okay replacement but it's not soured cream and layered chilli fries need sour cream, right? 

I do like to add some Trader Joes Fire Roasted Chopped Green Chillis to mine also, they taste amazing and really do finish off the taste. Look for a similar store brand or if you like plenty of heat, you could go for some chopped Jalapenos. 

Other than that your good to go. Enjoy!!

How can I add a ⅓ vegetables to these Chilli Cheese Fries?

There is plenty of vegetables in the actual chilli recipe, as well as the toppings such as tomatoes, spring onion, chilli's etc, but the perfect way to up those speed foods is to just add a simple shredded green crispy lettuce or mixed salad to the side of your serving.
