# What You’ll Need to Cook:

→ Filling

01 - 500 g ground beef
02 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
03 - 1 small onion, diced
04 - 2 cloves garlic, minced
05 - 1 teaspoon chili powder
06 - 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
07 - 1 teaspoon ground cumin
08 - 0.5 teaspoon salt
09 - 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
10 - 120 ml salsa
11 - 100 g shredded cheddar cheese
12 - 100 g shredded Monterey Jack cheese

→ Assembly

13 - 6 large flour tortillas
14 - 120 ml sour cream
15 - 50 g chopped lettuce
16 - 80 g diced tomatoes
17 - 15 g chopped fresh cilantro (optional)

→ Fries

18 - 4 medium russet potatoes
19 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
20 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
21 - 1 teaspoon paprika
22 - 0.5 teaspoon salt
23 - 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

# Steps to Prepare:

01 - Wash and optionally peel the potatoes. Cut into evenly sized fries and soak in cold water for 30 minutes to remove excess starch.
02 - Preheat the oven to 220°C or heat oil in a deep fryer to 190°C. Drain and pat the fries dry. Toss with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet or fry in batches until golden and crisp. For baked fries, cook for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping halfway.
03 - Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced onions and cook until soft. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add ground beef, breaking up with a spoon, and cook until browned. Drain off excess fat. Stir in chili powder, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix in salsa and simmer for 5 minutes.
04 - Warm tortillas in a skillet or microwave to make them pliable for assembling.
05 - Spread a layer of sour cream in the center of each tortilla. Top with a scoop of beef mixture, shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses, lettuce, diced tomatoes, and cilantro if desired. Fold the sides inward and roll up tightly from the bottom.
06 - Plate the burritos with a generous portion of fries. Offer additional toppings or sauces such as guacamole, jalapeños, or extra cheese if desired.

# Extra Cooking Tips:

01 - Add cooked rice, beans, or grilled vegetables to the filling for variation.
02 - Warming tortillas before assembling prevents cracking.
03 - Substitute with frozen fries for convenience, following package instructions.
04 - For extra spice, incorporate jalapeños or hot sauce.
05 - Wrap leftover burritos in foil to reheat in the oven and maintain their texture.
