Grilled Beef Burritos with Fries Inside (Print-Friendly Version)
Hot fries join taco-seasoned beef and two cheeses inside these skillet-toasted burritos. Use enough filling to roll securely and serve any surplus fries alongside. This version puts fries inside the tortilla, unlike a burrito plate with potatoes only on the side.

# How to Make It:

Add taco seasoning suitable for one pound of meat and the listed water.
04 -
Follow package hydration guidance and simmer until coated without excess liquid. Warm four tortillas until pliable.
05 -
Divide seasoned beef across the centers.

Turn after two to three minutes and continue until the exterior is golden and cheese has melted. Serve immediately with remaining fries.
# Extra Suggestions:
01 -
Choose a packet intended for one pound of meat and check its directions. This recipe puts a modest portion of cooked frozen fries inside each of four burritos; it is not the six-wrap version with homemade fries served beside them. Choose taco seasoning intended for one pound of meat and follow its water directions if they differ from the listed starting quantity. Simmer until the filling is coated rather than watery. Reserve surplus fries instead of forcing the whole bag inside four tortillas. Keep the sour cream and salsa near the center, fold the sides inward and begin toasting seam-side down. Turn with a broad spatula so the seam stays closed.
