Description

A fusion of cheeseburger and burritoโ€”smashed beef patties, crispy fries, melty cheese, grilled onions, and tangy animalโ€‘style sauce wrapped in a griddled tortilla.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef (or 4 patties)
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • Yellow mustard (to spread on patties)
  • McCormick Hamburger Seasoning (or salt, pepper, garlic & onion powder, smoked paprika)
  • 4 large burritoโ€‘size flour tortillas
  • 28 oz frozen crinkleโ€‘cut fries
  • 8 slices American cheese
  • Animalโ€‘style sauce: 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1/4 cup ketchup, 1 tbsp yellow mustard, 2 tbsp sweet pickle relish, 1 tbsp white vinegar, 1/4 tsp garlic powder, 1/4 tsp smoked paprika

Instructions

  1. Mix all sauce ingredients in a bowl; refrigerate.
  2. Cook fries until crispy per package instructions; keep warm.
  3. Form patties if using ground beef.
  4. Heat griddle or large skillet over mediumโ€‘high; melt butter and sautรฉ onions until softened.
  5. Add patties; press/smash, spread mustard on top, and season. Cook to form crust, flip, finish cooking, then chop into biteโ€‘size pieces.
  6. Lay a tortilla flat; spread sauce in the center, add fries, a slice of cheese, chopped beef, onions, another cheese slice, and more sauce.
  7. Roll burrito tightly, tucking sides; place seamโ€‘side down on griddle, grill until golden on both sides.
  8. Serve immediately while hot and crispy.

Notes

  • Makes 4 large burritos.
  • Warm tortillas before rolling to prevent tearing.
  • Ensure fries are hot and crispy before assembly to avoid sogginess.
  • Donโ€™t overfillโ€”too much filling can cause tearing or difficulty rolling.
  • Can substitute plantโ€‘based patties, turkey, or add bacon, pickles, shredded lettuce or tomato.
  • Leftovers: wrap in foil and refrigerate up to 2โ€ฏdays; reheat in skillet for crispness. Sauce keeps up to 1โ€ฏweek.
