# How to Make It:
01 -
Bake frozen French fries in accordance with package directions until golden and crisp, typically 20-25 minutes.
02 -
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook until fully browned, 6 to 8 minutes, breaking up any large pieces. Drain excess fat.
03 -
Incorporate taco seasoning and water into the beef. Stir well and simmer for 3 to 4 minutes, allowing the mixture to thicken.
04 -
Microwave flour tortillas for about 20 seconds to soften for rolling.
05 -
Lay each tortilla flat. Fill with seasoned beef, a portion of hot fries, a spoonful of sour cream and salsa, and a mix of cheddar and mozzarella cheese.
06 -
Fold in the edges and roll the tortillas tightly around the filling.
07 -
Lightly oil or spray a clean skillet. Place burritos seam-side down over medium heat, grilling 2 to 3 minutes per side until golden with melted cheese inside.
08 -
Serve burritos hot, accompanied by extra fries or preferred dipping sauces such as ranch or ketchup.
# Extra Suggestions:
01 -
Let the burritos rest for a minute before slicing to prevent the fillings from spilling out.
