Griddled cheeseburger burritos packed with mustard-seared beef, fries, grilled onions, pickles, American cheese, and tangy animal-style sauce.

# Ingredients:

For the sauce

01 - 1/2 cup (120 g) mayonnaise
02 - 1/4 cup (60 g) ketchup
03 - 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
04 - 2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish
05 - 1 tablespoon white vinegar
06 - 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
07 - 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika

For the burritos

08 - 20 oz (565 g) frozen crinkle-cut fries
09 - 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
10 - 1 large yellow onion, finely chopped
11 - 1 lb (450 g) 80/20 ground beef
12 - 1 teaspoon kosher salt
13 - 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
14 - 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
15 - 2 tablespoons yellow mustard, for cooking the beef
16 - 4 large burrito-size flour tortillas
17 - 8 slices American cheese
18 - 1/2 cup sliced dill pickles
19 - 1 teaspoon neutral oil, if needed for toasting

# Instructions:

01 - Stir mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, relish, vinegar, garlic powder, and smoked paprika in a small bowl until smooth. Refrigerate while you cook the filling.
02 - Bake or air-fry the fries according to the package directions until browned and crisp. Keep them warm.
03 - Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring often, until soft and golden.
04 - Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Press the beef into 4 thin patties or a flat layer, season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder, then spread mustard over the top. Flip once browned and cook until the beef reaches 160°F.
05 - Transfer the cooked beef to a board or keep it on the griddle and chop it into large bite-size pieces. Mix with the grilled onions.
06 - Warm the tortillas until flexible. Add sauce, fries, 2 slices of cheese, beef and onions, pickles, and a small extra drizzle of sauce to each tortilla.
07 - Roll each burrito tightly. Toast seam-side down in a dry skillet or lightly oiled griddle over medium heat for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden and the cheese melts.

# Good to know:

01 - Warm tortillas before rolling to prevent tearing.
02 - Serve with extra sauce for dipping.
03 - Cook ground beef to 160°F for food safety.
