Y’all, let me tell you about the most heavenly midnight snack that’ll make your taste buds do the Texas two-step! As someone who’s notorious for late-night cravings (no judgment here, sisters!), I’ve perfected what I call the “Lone Star Loaded Sweet Potato Fries.” Trust me, this isn’t your basic french fry situation – this is pure Texas comfort in every bite.
Let’s get cookin’, shall we?
What you’ll need:
– 2 large sweet potatoes
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 cup shredded brisket (leftover from your Sunday BBQ, honey!)
– 1/2 cup queso fresco
– 1/4 cup diced jalapeños
– Drizzle of honey
– BBQ sauce
– Your favorite Tex-Mex seasonings
– Salt and pepper to taste
Now, here’s where the magic happens:
1. Slice those sweet potatoes into fry-shaped pieces (about 1/4 inch thick). Pro tip: Don’t make them too thin, or they’ll burn faster than gossip spreads at a church potluck!
1. Toss them in olive oil and your seasonings. I like to use a mix of chili powder, garlic powder, and a pinch of cayenne (because mama likes it spicy! 🔥).
1. Spread them on a baking sheet and pop them in a preheated 425°F oven for about 25 minutes, flipping halfway through. We want them crispy on the outside but soft and sweet on the inside!

1. While your fries are getting all gorgeous in the oven, warm up that brisket with a splash of BBQ sauce.
1. Once the fries are done, pile them high on a plate and top them with your warm brisket, crumbled queso fresco, and those spicy jalapeños.
1. Here’s the secret that’ll change your life – drizzle some honey over the top. Sweet, spicy, and savory? Honey, that’s what we call flavor heaven!
The best part about this recipe? It’s perfect for those nights when you’re binge-watching your favorite show and need something more exciting than plain old chips. Plus, it’s totally customizable – add guacamole, sour cream, or even a fried egg on top if you’re feeling extra fancy!
