Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Fries
Cook the frozen French fries according to the package instructions, either in the oven or air fryer. Ensure they are golden and crispy, as this adds a delightful crunch to the burritos.
Step 2: Cook the Beef
- In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the diced onion and minced garlic until softened.
- Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spatula as it cooks.
- Stir in the taco seasoning and water, then let the mixture simmer for 3–5 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Step 3: Assemble the Burritos
- Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface.
- Place a layer of shredded cheese in the center.
- Add a generous scoop of the seasoned beef mixture on top of the cheese.
- Arrange a handful of crispy fries on the beef.
- Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it tightly from one end to the other to form a burrito.
Step 4: Heat the Burritos
For an extra touch of melted goodness:
- Heat a dry skillet over medium heat.
- Place each burrito seam-side down and cook for 1–2 minutes per side until the tortilla is golden and crisp, and the cheese inside melts.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
Slice the burritos in half, garnish with your favorite toppings, and serve warm. Pair them with extra fries, a side salad, or a refreshing drink for a complete meal.
Tips for the Perfect Burrito
- Tortilla Warm-Up: Warm your tortillas before assembling to make them more pliable and prevent cracking.
- Layer Strategically: Place cheese near the hot beef to help it melt, and keep fries toward the center for the best crunch.
- Make It Spicy: Add jalapeños or a drizzle of hot sauce for extra heat.
