Ingredients:

  • 12 oz frozen thin-cut french fries
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1 lb lean ground beef (90% lean)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 yellow onion, finely diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 cup beef broth
  • 6 large flour tortillas
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup diced avocado
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Instructions:

  1. Cook the fries in the air fryer at 400°F (200°C) for 12–15 minutes, shaking halfway through, until they are deep golden and rigid. Set aside on a wire rack.
  2. Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a skillet over high heat. Brown the lean ground beef until no pink remains, then drain any excess liquid.
  3. Stir in diced onions and garlic, sautéing until translucent.
  4. Add the chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper, stirring for 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. Pour in the beef broth and simmer for 3–5 minutes until the liquid reduces into a thick glaze that clings to the meat.
  6. Warm each tortilla for 10 seconds in a dry pan to make them pliable.
  7. Layer ingredients in the center of each tortilla: a handful of cheese, a scoop of seasoned beef, 4–5 crispy fries, avocado, and cilantro.
  8. Fold the sides in and roll the burritos tightly.
  9. Place the burritos seam-side down in a hot skillet for 2 minutes per side until the exterior is golden brown and crisp.
