- ½ teaspoon sriracha sauce
Directions:
- Preheat the air fryer at 400°F/200°C for 5 minutes.
- Place the fries in the air fryer basket. Lightly spray with avocado oil and toss with taco seasoning.
- Cook at 400°F/200°C for 12-15 minutes, shaking the basket every 4-5 minutes.
- While the fries are cooking, grate the cotija cheese, whisk together the sauce ingredients, and chop the tomato, avocado, and green onions.

Recipe Notes
Cheese option: You can substitute for Colby Jack cheese if you want your fries to stick together more with that “cheese pull”.
Sauce option: You can use mayo instead of sour cream here if you want less of a sour cream sauce and more of a spicy fry sauce.
