# Ingredients Needed:

→ Meat and Patties

01 - 1 pound ground beef, 80/20 fat ratio or 4 pre-made patties

→ Vegetables

02 - 1 medium onion, chopped

→ Dairy and Cheese

03 - 8 slices American cheese
04 - 2 tablespoons butter

→ Sauces and Condiments

05 - ½ cup mayonnaise
06 - ¼ cup ketchup
07 - 1 tablespoon yellow mustard for sauce
08 - Yellow mustard for spreading on patties
09 - 2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish
10 - 1 tablespoon white vinegar

→ Seasonings

11 - McCormick hamburger seasoning, or similar quality blend
12 - ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
13 - ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika

→ Other

14 - 4 large burrito-size flour tortillas
15 - 28 oz frozen crinkle cut fries

# Step-by-Step Directions:

01 - In a medium bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, ketchup, yellow mustard, sweet pickle relish, white vinegar, garlic powder, and smoked paprika until smooth. Refrigerate at least 15 minutes to meld flavors.
02 - Cook frozen crinkle cut fries in an air fryer at 400°F for 12 to 15 minutes or bake in a 425°F oven for 20 to 25 minutes until golden and crisp.
03 - Divide ground beef into 4 equal portions and gently form into loose patties slightly larger than desired final size to allow for shrinkage during cooking. Avoid overworking the meat.
04 - Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chopped onions and butter; cook 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally until caramelized. Push onions to one side and place burger patties on the hot surface.
05 - Using a spatula or burger smasher, press each patty firmly against the griddle to form a crispy crust. Spread a thin layer of yellow mustard on each patty and season generously with hamburger seasoning while cooking.
06 - Cook patties for 3 to 4 minutes until browned and crispy, then flip and cook another 2 to 3 minutes until done. Transfer to a cutting board and chop into bite-sized pieces.
07 - Lay each tortilla flat and spread about 2 tablespoons of animal style sauce down the center. Layer with crispy fries, 1 slice cheese, chopped burger, caramelized onions, another slice of cheese, and finish with more sauce.
08 - Fold the bottom edge of the tortilla over the filling, tuck in the sides, then roll tightly seam side down. Grill on medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - Rest burritos for 2 minutes before slicing to allow cheese to set for cleaner cuts.
02 - Do not overfill tortillas to prevent bursting during rolling and grilling.
03 - Use a quality hamburger seasoning blend for authentic griddle flavor.
04 - Reheat leftovers in a 350°F oven wrapped in foil for 10 to 12 minutes to maintain crispiness.
05 - Frozen patties can be used after thawing and cooking according to package instructions.
