Ingredients
  

For the Burritos:

1 lb ground beef

1 teaspoon chili powder

1 teaspoon cumin

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and black pepper to taste

1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded

1 cup refried beans

4 large flour tortillas

1/2 cup salsa

1/4 cup sour cream (for serving)

Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

For the Crispy Fries:

4 medium-sized russet potatoes

3 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 teaspoon paprika

Salt to taste

Instructions
 

Prepare the Fries:

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

      - Wash and peel the russet potatoes, then cut them into thin fries.

        - In a bowl, toss the potato fries with vegetable oil, paprika, and salt until well coated.

          - Spread them out on a baking sheet in a single layer and bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.

            Cook the Beef:

              - In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon (about 8-10 minutes).

                - Drain excess fat, then add chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine and cook for another 2-3 minutes to blend the flavors.

                  Assemble the Burritos:

                    - On each tortilla, spread about 1/4 cup of refried beans down the middle. Add 1/4 of the cooked beef mixture on top and sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese.

                      - Drizzle with salsa before folding in the sides of the tortilla and rolling tightly from the bottom to the top.

                        Cook the Burritos:

                          - In the same skillet, heat a little oil over medium heat. Place each burrito seam-side down in the skillet and cook until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.

                            Serve:

                              - Remove the burritos and let them cool slightly. Serve with crispy fries on the side and garnish with chopped cilantro, additional salsa, and a dollop of sour cream. Enjoy your cheesy, hearty burrito feast!
