Ingredients

 1 lb ground beef or thinly sliced steak

 1 packet taco seasoning or homemade blend

 3 cups frozen French fries or fresh-cut

 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese

 1/2 cup milk

 4 large flour tortillas

 Optional: sour cream, hot sauce, guacamole, pico de gallo

Steps

Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the ground beef or steak, seasoning it with the taco mix or spice blend. Brown until slightly crispy.

Prepare the French fries using an oven, air fryer, or deep fryer. Salt them immediately after cooking while still hot.

In a saucepan, melt the cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses with the milk, stirring continuously until smooth and creamy.

On each tortilla, layer the cooked beef, prepared fries, and drizzle with the cheese sauce. Add optional toppings as desired.

Fold the burrito tightly and toast it on a hot skillet for 1-2 minutes per side until golden brown.

Tips

1. For a spicier version, mix in jalapeños or substitute with pepper jack cheese.
2. Make it vegetarian by replacing the beef with black beans and adding grilled vegetables.
3. Wrap leftovers in foil and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for 1 month.
4. To reheat, use the microwave first, then toast on a skillet for a crisp exterior.
