What You’ll Need:

  • French Fries (preferably crinkle-cut)
  • Grilled Chicken from the Mexican Food Section (may be substituted)
  • Shredded Cheese
  • Cholula Hot Sauce
  • Tabasco Hot Sauce
  • Lime
  • Butter

Instructions:

  1. Put as many french fries as your stomach desires onto a plate.
  2. To make a sexy buffalo sauce, mix a squirt of lime juice, little bit of butter, Tabasco and Cholula sauce in a bowl or a cup. Pour it all over the french fries, but remember that everything in moderation, (including moderation) is key. You can also add some barbecue sauce if you would like.
  3. Go over to the Mexican Food Section and add whatever they have to make your fries even better. It’s best when they have grilled chicken, but anything works. If you do not eat meat, beans are a great substitute.
  4. Cover everything generously with shredded cheese. And don’t be discouraged if the cheese sticks to the tongs. Yes, baby. Cheese is life.
  5. Microwave it for one minute. (There is a microwave in the dining commons, folks!)
  6. Enjoy!
