Ingredients
Cowboy Burritos
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced (about 1 cup)
- 1 large red bell pepper, diced
- 1 medium jalapeño, seeded, finely diced
- 1 packet (1 ounce) taco seasoning
- 4 large tortillas, burrito size
- 2 cups frozen French fries, cooked according to package instructions, divided
- 1 cup (172 g) black beans, drained, rinsed, divided
- 1 cup (113 g) pepper jack cheese, shredded, divided
- 16 fried cheese curds, divided
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
Toppings
- sour cream, for drizzling
- pico de gallo
Instructions
- To a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef, onion, red pepper, jalapeño, and taco seasoning. Cook, breaking up the meat as you go, until the meat is no longer pink and the vegetables are softened, about 6-8 minutes. Remove from heat, drain grease, and set aside.
- Lay out the tortillas on a flat surface.
- In the center of each tortilla, add ¼ of the ground beef mixture, ½ cup of cooked French fries, ¼ cup of black beans, ¼ cup of pepper jack cheese, and 3-4 cheese curds.
- Carefully fold the sides of the tortilla inward over the filling. Then, roll the burrito tightly from bottom to top, ensuring the filling is securely tucked inside.
- To a large skillet over medium heat, add oil. Once hot, place the burritos seam-side down in the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula until each side is golden brown and crispy.
- Transfer the burritos to a plate and top each with a drizzle of sour cream and a generous scoop of pico de gallo. Serve immediately.
