Instructions
Preparation
- Begin by preparing the fries according to the package instructions or by making them from scratch. Aim for them to be crispy and golden.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a splash of olive oil. Once hot, add the sliced steak, season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder, and cook for about 5-7 minutes until browned. If using, toss in onions and bell peppers and sauté until they are soft.
Assembly
- Lay the tortillas out flat and start layering. Begin with a generous amount of the cooked steak, followed by the crispy fries, and then sprinkle the shredded cheese on top.
- Carefully fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it tightly from the bottom up, securing all that delicious filling.
Final Touch
- If desired, place the rolled burritos back in the skillet for a minute or two on each side to lightly toast and melt the cheese inside.
- Slice the burritos in half and serve them warm with your favorite toppings!
Notes
Customize your burritos with different proteins and toppings. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or skillet to refresh.
