👩🍳 Instructions
1. Cook the Ground Beef
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart.
- Drain excess fat if needed.
- Add taco seasoning, salt, pepper, tomato paste, and water.
- 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:
- A spoonful of nacho cheese (optional)
- A layer of seasoned ground beef
- A handful of crispy fries
- Shredded cheese
- Any extras like sour cream, salsa, or jalapeños
5. Fold and Toast
- Fold the sides of the tortilla inward.
- Roll the burrito tightly from the bottom up.
- Place seam-side down in a skillet over medium heat.
- Toast 1–2 minutes per side until golden and sealed.

🔥 Tips for the Best Burritos
