Ingredients

• 2 large Russet potatoes
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 pound Ground beef
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 2 ripe Avocado
• 1 medium Lime
• 0.25 cup Cilantro
• 1 medium Tomato
• 1 small Garlic clove
• 4 large Flour tortillas
• 1 cup Low sodium cheese

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 2

Scrub and rinse the russet potatoes thoroughly. Cut them into thick fries.

Step 3

Place the fries on a baking sheet, drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and toss to coat uniformly. Spread them into a single layer.

Step 4

Bake the fries in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden and crispy.

Step 5

While the fries bake, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until browned.

Step 6

Add cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and paprika to the beef and mix well. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until spices are fragrant.

Step 7

Remove the skin and pit from the avocados. Mash the avocados in a bowl.

Step 8

Squeeze the juice from the lime over the mashed avocado.

Step 9

Finely chop the cilantro, dice the tomato, and mince the garlic clove. Add these to the mashed avocado and mix well to make guacamole.

Step 10

Lay out a flour tortilla. In the center, layer some of the cooked beef, fries, a generous spoonful of guacamole, and a sprinkle of low-sodium cheese.

Step 11

Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up from the bottom to enclose the filling. Repeat with remaining tortillas and fillings.

Step 12

Optional: To warm the burrito, place it seam-side down on a hot skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side until slightly crispy.

Step 13

Serve the burritos warm, garnished with extra cilantro or a side of salsa if desired.
