Y’all, let me tell you about a midnight snack that’ll make your taste buds do the Texas two-step! As someone who’s spent countless nights experimenting in my kitchen (usually in my fuzzy socks and messy bun), I’ve perfected what I like to call the “Lone Star Loaded Sweet Potato Fries.” Trust me, honey, this isn’t your average late-night munch!
Let’s get down to business, shall we?
What you’ll need:
– 2 large sweet potatoes
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 cup shredded brisket (leftover from your Sunday BBQ, if you’re fancy like that)
– 1/2 cup queso fresco
– Jalapeños (as many as your brave heart desires)
– Chopped cilantro
– Your favorite BBQ sauce
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Chipotle ranch for drizzling (because regular ranch is so yesterday)
Now, here’s what you’re gonna do, sugar:
1. Slice those sweet potatoes into fry-sized pieces. Don’t worry about being perfect – we’re not entering a beauty pageant here!
1. Toss them in olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet like you’re spreading gossip at the salon.
1. Bake at 425°F for about 25 minutes, or until they’re crispy on the outside but soft enough to make you weak in the knees.

1. While those fries are getting all gorgeous in the oven, warm up that brisket. If you don’t have leftover brisket (bless your heart), you can use pulled pork or even seasoned ground beef.
1. Once the fries are done, pile them high on a plate and top them with that warm brisket, crumbled queso fresco, and as many jalapeños as you dare.
1. Drizzle with BBQ sauce and chipotle ranch like you’re Jackson Pollock creating a masterpiece.
1. Sprinkle cilantro on top because we’re fancy like that!
The result? A midnight snack that’ll have you doing a happy dance in your kitchen at 2 AM! It’s savory, it’s sweet, it’s spicy – it’s everything a good Texan snack should be!
