LOW CALORIE CHILI CHEESE FRIES

These chili cheese fries look and taste like you’re on a cheat day but you’re not! And that’s because they are much lower in fat than what you would usually have.

Here’s how:First, instead of deep frying the fries, they are baked in the airfryer, requiring minimum oil. Secondly, we use extra lean mince beef (5% fat). Last but not least, the ratio meat vs fries has been reversed (more protein, less carbs)

Instructions

Pan fry the extra lean mince beef with a spray of oil and diced onion until it gets a nice brown colour and season with all the spices.
Add in the tomatoe sauce, beef stock and 2 bay leaves, bring to boil then simmer for at least 20min for all the flavours to combine well. Simmer for longer to reduce the sauce if it’s too watery.
In the meantime, peel and slice potatoes into fries shape.
Cook the potatoes fries into boiling water with 1 tsp of vinegar for about 3min. This step help them to be crispy.
Pat the fries dry then spray with cooking oil and season with all the spices.
Airfry for 15-18min at 200C or bake in the oven for 25min at 220C
Before serving, add shredded cheese on top of the chili con carne, cover for few minutes to make it melt.
Pour the chili con carne onto the fries and top with fresh chili and coriander. Enjoy !
