Ingredients for this Beefy Cheesy Fries Burrito

1 lb ground beef (or finely chopped steak)
1 packet taco seasoning (or homemade blend)
1/4 cup water
2 cups frozen French fries (crinkle or shoestring work best)
4 large flour tortillas
1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup nacho cheese sauce (optional but recommended)
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup shredded lettuce
Hot sauce (optional)
Oil for frying (if needed)
Salt to taste

Step 1: Prepare the Fries

Cook the frozen fries according to package instructions until golden and crispy. For an extra crunch, air fry or bake them slightly longer. Set aside.

Step 2: Cook the Beef

In a skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Break it apart and cook until browned. Drain excess fat if necessary. Stir in taco seasoning and water, then simmer for 5 minutes until thickened.

Step 3: Warm the Tortillas

Warm the tortillas in a skillet or microwave for 20 seconds to make them pliable and easy to roll.

Step 4: Assemble the Burrito

Lay out a tortilla and layer with a spoonful of beef, a handful of fries, mozzarella and cheddar cheese, a drizzle of nacho cheese sauce, and a touch of sour cream. Add shredded lettuce and hot sauce if using.

Step 5: Roll and Toast

Fold in the sides and roll the burrito tightly. For extra texture, toast the burrito seam side down on a dry skillet until golden.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a different kind of meat?

Absolutely. Shredded chicken, pulled pork, or carne asada are great swaps.

How do I keep the fries crispy?

Use an air fryer or oven instead of deep frying, and toast the burrito just before serving.

What cheese works best?

Mozzarella melts beautifully, and cheddar adds tang. Pepper jack is also a great spicy option.

Can I make this vegetarian?

Yes! Replace beef with black beans, grilled veggies, or meatless crumbles.

What sauces go well with this?

Aside from sour cream and nacho cheese, try chipotle mayo, salsa verde, or ranch dressing.

How can I make it healthier?

Swap regular fries for baked sweet potato fries and use low-fat cheese and sour cream.
