Ingredients

• Ground beef or thinly sliced steak: Rich beef flavor is classic Use freshly ground beef for the juiciest results
• Taco seasoning or homemade blend: Infuses the meat with bold flavor Choose low sodium if you prefer less salt
• Frozen French fries or fresh cut fries: Fries should be crispy to give texture Go for straight cut or crinkle fry for best stuffed burrito effect
• Shredded cheddar cheese: Melts into a buttery sauce Always buy blocks and shred at home for smooth melting
• Shredded Monterey Jack cheese: Adds creaminess and balances cheddar taste Monterey Jack is mild and gooey
• Milk: Helps create the cheese sauce Whole milk gives richest texture
• Large flour tortillas: Soft and sturdy These hold up to heavy fillings Go for the largest wraps you can find
• Optional sour cream hot sauce guacamole pico de gallo: Choose your favorite creamy or tangy toppings for layering

Step-by-Step Instructions

Cook the Beef:

Start with a wide heavy skillet over medium heat Add beef or steak Break up the meat as it cooks and sprinkle in taco seasoning Let it develop a rich brown crust this should take about ten minutes Stir often and do not rush This is where you build deep flavor

Prepare the Fries:

Cook fries using your preferred method Oven air fryer or deep fryer all work beautifully Make sure they get crisp and golden brown Immediately after cooking toss fries in a little salt so they are seasoned and ready

Make the Cheese Sauce:

In a medium saucepan pour in both shredded cheeses and milk Keep the heat medium low Stir without stopping and let cheese melt slowly until you have a thick creamy sauce If it starts to get stringy or too thick a splash more milk fixes it

Assemble the Burritos:

Lay flour tortillas flat on your counter Start with a layer of beef then pile on a generous handful of hot crispy fries Pour warm cheese sauce all over Add any optional toppings like pico de gallo or a spoonful of sour cream Try not to overstuff

Roll and Toast the Burritos:

Fold burrito sides inward then roll tightly so nothing spills out Heat a skillet over medium and toast each burrito seam side down first Let each side get a nice golden crisp This adds a hit of crunch that takes it over the top
