Ingredients
  

For the Cheesy Beef Burritos:

1 lb ground beef

1 cup onion, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup salsa (mild or spicy, based on preference)

1 tsp cumin

1 tsp chili powder

Salt and pepper to taste

1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese

4 large flour tortillas

1 cup sour cream (for serving)

1 avocado, sliced (for garnish)

Chopped fresh cilantro (for garnish)

For the Crispy Fries:

3 large russet potatoes

2 tbsp olive oil

1 tsp paprika

Salt to taste

Freshly ground black pepper (to taste)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Fries:

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

      - Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into thin strips to form fries.

        - In a large bowl, toss the potato strips with olive oil, 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 brown and crispy.

              Cook the Beef Filling:

                - In a large skillet over medium heat, add the chopped onion. Sauté for about 3 minutes until translucent.

                  - Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.

                    - Add ground beef to the skillet. Season with cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Cook until the beef is browned, breaking it apart with a spatula.

                      - Pour in the salsa and stir to combine. Let it simmer for 5 minutes until heated through and flavors meld.

                        Assemble the Burritos:

                          - Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave to make them pliable.

                            - Spoon a generous amount of the beef mixture onto the center of each tortilla, then sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese.

                              - Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up from the bottom to secure the filling. Repeat for all tortillas.

                                Final Touches:

                                  - Place the burritos in the same skillet used for the beef, seam side down, and cook on medium heat for about 2 minutes on each side until the tortillas are golden and the cheese is melted.

                                    - Serve the burritos hot with a side of crispy fries, sour cream, avocado slices, and fresh cilantro.
