Ingredients
  

For the Cheesy Beef Burritos:

1 lb ground beef

1 small onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 packet taco seasoning

1 cup refried beans

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

4 large flour tortillas

1/2 cup sour cream

1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)

1 jalapeño, sliced (optional)

For the Crispy Fries:

4 medium potatoes, cut into fries

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Prepare the Fries:

    - Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

      - Rinse and peel the potatoes, then cut them into even-sized fries.

        - In a bowl, toss the fries with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.

          - Spread the fries in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

            - Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.

              Cook the Beef Filling:

                - In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks (about 6-8 minutes).

                  - Drain any excess fat, if necessary, then add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent (about 3-4 minutes).

                    - Stir in the taco seasoning and a splash of water, simmering for 2-3 minutes until well combined.

                      Assemble the Burritos:

                        - Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable.

                          - Spread a layer of refried beans on each tortilla, then add a generous scoop of the cheesy beef mixture.

                            - Top with shredded cheddar cheese and any additional toppings like sour cream, cilantro, and jalapeño slices.

                              - Roll the tortillas tightly, folding in the sides as you go to secure the filling.

                                Finalize and Serve:

                                  - For extra crunch, you can toast the burritos in the skillet with a little butter or oil until the outside is golden and crispy.

                                    - Serve the burritos hot alongside the crispy fries on the plate.
