Ingredients
  

2 lbs beef chuck roast

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 onion, quartered

2 cups beef broth

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

2 tablespoons chili powder

1 tablespoon cumin

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon oregano

2 bay leaves

4 large russet potatoes

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 cup crumbled queso fresco

1 jalapeño, sliced

Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Sour cream (for drizzling)

Olive oil

Salt and pepper

Instructions
 

Prepare the Beef: In a slow cooker, combine the beef chuck roast, minced garlic, onion, beef broth, apple cider vinegar, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, oregano, bay leaves, salt, and pepper. Cook on low for 8 hours or until the beef is tender and easily shredded.

    Shred the Beef: Once the beef is cooked, remove it from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded beef to the slow cooker, mixing it with the juices for added flavor. Set aside.

      Prepare the Fries: While the beef is cooking, preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Wash and peel the russet potatoes, then cut them into thin strips to create fries. Toss the fries in a bowl with olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.

        Bake the Fries: Spread the seasoned fries in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through for even cooking.

          Assemble the Loaded Fries: Once the fries are baked, take them out of the oven and layer the shredded beef evenly on top. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the beef. Return to the oven for an additional 5-7 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

            Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and top with crumbled queso fresco, sliced jalapeños, and chopped fresh cilantro. Drizzle with sour cream for a creamy finish.
