🧾 Ingredients

For the Ground Beef

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 tablespoon taco seasoning (or chili powder, paprika, garlic, cumin)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste (optional, for richness)
  • ¼ cup water

For the Fries

  • 2 cups frozen French fries, cooked until extra crispy
    Air fryer, oven, or deep-fried—your choice

For Each Burrito

  • 1 large flour tortilla (10–12 inch)
  • ½ cup seasoned ground beef
  • ½ cup crispy fries
  • ½ cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a blend)
  • 2 tablespoons nacho cheese or queso (optional but amazing!)
  • Optional toppings:
    • Sour cream
    • Salsa
    • Jalapeños
    • Diced tomatoes
    • Lettuce
    • Hot sauce

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Cook the Ground Beef

  1. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart.
  3. Drain excess fat if needed.
  4. Add taco seasoning, salt, pepper, tomato paste, and water.
  5. Simmer for 3–4 minutes until thick and saucy.

2. Cook the Fries

Prepare fries using your favorite method:

  • Air Fryer: 400°F (200°C) for 12–15 minutes
  • Oven: Bake at 425°F (220°C) until crispy
  • Deep Fry: Fry until golden and crispy

Crispier fries hold up best inside the burrito.


3. Warm the Tortillas

Warm tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave so they fold without tearing.


4. Assemble the Burrito

Lay a warm tortilla flat and add:

  1. A spoonful of nacho cheese (optional)
  2. A layer of seasoned ground beef
  3. A handful of crispy fries
  4. Shredded cheese
  5. Any extras like sour cream, salsa, or jalapeños

5. Fold and Toast

  1. Fold the sides of the tortilla inward.
  2. Roll the burrito tightly from the bottom up.
  3. Place seam-side down in a skillet over medium heat.
  4. Toast 1–2 minutes per side until golden and sealed.

🍽 Serving Suggestions

Serve with:

  • Extra fries
  • Guacamole
  • Queso dip
  • Salsa or pico de gallo
  • Spicy mayo or chipotle sauce

🔥 Tips for the Best Burritos

  • Use large tortillas so everything fits.
  • Let the beef cool slightly so the burrito doesn’t get soggy.
  • Add queso inside for a meltier, richer experience.
  • Don’t overfill—the tighter the wrap, the better it holds.
  • Toasting the burrito is key for flavor and structure.

🔄 Variations

  • Supreme Version: Add beans, lettuce, tomatoes, and sour cream.
  • Loaded Steak Fries Burrito: Swap beef for sliced steak.
  • Buffalo Ranch Burrito: Add buffalo sauce + ranch + mozzarella.
  • Breakfast Burrito: Replace beef with scrambled eggs + sausage.
  • Low-Carb: Use low-carb tortillas and cauliflower fries.
