Ingredients
For the Tacos:

- 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced (optional)
- 2 tbsp olive oil

For the Buffalo Fries:
- 2–3 large potatoes, cut into fries
- 2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions
1. Prepare the Buffalo Fries
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Toss potato fries with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Spread evenly on a baking sheet and bake 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.
- Toss hot fries in buffalo sauce and sprinkle with blue cheese or serve with ranch on the side.
2. Cook the Philly Beef Filling
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
- Sauté onions, bell peppers, and mushrooms until soft (~5 minutes).
- Add sliced beef, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned (~3–4 minutes).
- Reduce heat to low and sprinkle cheese over the mixture, letting it melt.
3. Assemble the Tacos
- Warm tortillas on a skillet or in the oven.
- Spoon the beef and veggie mixture into each tortilla.
- Top with optional extras: pickled jalapeños, hot sauce, or fresh herbs.
4. Serve

💡 Pro Tips:
- Use thinly sliced beef for tender, authentic Philly cheesesteak texture.
- For extra flavor, add a dash of Worcestershire sauce to the beef while cooking.
- Make it lighter by using whole wheat tortillas or baked fries instead of fried.
