Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven and spread the frozen fries on a baking tray. Cook according to package instructions until they are golden and crispy.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Once it’s cooked, drain any excess fat.

  3. Fold the sides over the filling, then roll tightly from the bottom up to form a burrito.

Serving
