Let’s start with the fries since they’ll take the longest. If you’re making homemade fries:

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Toss the potato strips with olive oil, salt, pepper, and any other seasonings you like.

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

If you’re using frozen fries, follow the package instructions—easy peasy.

While the fries are baking, let’s work on the beef filling:

Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the ground beef.

Cook until browned, breaking it up with a spatula as it cooks.

Drain any excess grease, then stir in the taco seasoning and water. Let it simmer for 5 minutes until the sauce thickens.

Now for the fun part:

Warm the tortillas in the microwave or on a skillet for easier folding.

Spread a dollop of sour cream in the center of each tortilla.

Add a scoop of the seasoned beef, followed by cheese, rice (if using), lettuce, and tomatoes.

Fold the sides of the tortilla inwards, then roll it up tightly from the bottom. Pro tip: Don’t overfill your burritos, or they’ll be tricky to wrap.

By the time you’ve finished assembling the burritos, your fries should be ready. Plate everything up and dig in! If you’re feeling fancy, serve the burritos with a side of salsa or guacamole.
