Ingredients
  

For the burrito
  • 1 lb steak (sirloin or flank) Choose flavorful cuts for best results.
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Monterey Jack) You can experiment with different cheese types.
  • 2 large burrito-sized tortillas Make sure they are large enough to hold the filling.
  • 1 large potato, cut into fries Alternatively, use store-bought frozen fries.
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil For tossing the fries.
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • Optional sour cream, guacamole, and salsa for topping Add as desired.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. If using fresh potatoes, cut them into fry shapes and toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread onto a baking tray and cook at 425°F (220°C) for about 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. If using frozen fries, cook according to package instructions.
  2. While the fries are baking, heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Season the steak with salt and pepper. Cook the steak for about 4-5 minutes per side until it reaches your desired doneness. Remove from heat and let it rest for about 5 minutes before slicing thinly.
Assembly
  1. Take a large tortilla and layer the sliced steak, a generous amount of fries, and shredded cheese in the center. Roll the burrito tightly inwards, tucking in the sides as you go.
  2. Heat the assembled burrito in the skillet for a couple of minutes on each side to melt the cheese and give the tortilla a golden finish.
Serving
  1. Slice the burrito in half and serve with optional toppings like sour cream, guacamole, or salsa. Enjoy!

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Freeze wrapped burritos for up to three months and thaw overnight before reheating.
