On a large baking sheet, add a sheet of parchment paper.
Spread the fries over the pan into a unified layer.
Spoon the chili mixture over the top of the fries. Finish by sprinkling cheese and green onions on the top.

I find that using my air fryer is the best way to make crispy French fries. Air fry at 400 degrees for 15 minutes.
Using a large pan make sure that everything is spread evenly and the toppings get spread out on all the fries, not just on top of a heap.
To store: Add to a covered container and refrigerate. Reheat in the microwave or oven.
