# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Wash and peel the potatoes (optional). Cut them into evenly sized fries and soak in cold water for 30 minutes to remove starch.
02 -
Preheat the oven to 220°C or heat oil in a deep fryer to 190°C. Pat the fries dry, toss with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Bake for 25–30 minutes or fry in batches until golden brown.
03 -
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook diced onions until softened, then add garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add ground beef and cook until browned. Drain any grease, season with spices, and mix in salsa. Simmer for 5 minutes.
04 -
Warm tortillas. Spread sour cream in the center, add beef mixture, cheddar, and Monterey Jack cheese. Top with lettuce, tomatoes, and cilantro. Fold sides inward and roll tightly.
05 -
Plate the burritos with fries. Offer optional toppings like guacamole or jalapeños. Serve fries with ketchup or a preferred dipping sauce.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
To make the fries extra crispy, soak in water longer and pat dry thoroughly before cooking.
