Prepare the fries
Preheat your oven according to the instructions on the package of the frozen French fries. Spread the fries evenly on a baking sheet and bake until golden and crispy, following package directions (usually around 20-30 minutes).

Cook the beef
While the fries are baking, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Add beef and spices
Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in the chili powder, salt, and black pepper to taste, mixing well.
