#### **Step 1: Cook the Fries**
1. **Prepare the Fries**: Preheat your oven to **425°F (220°C)**. Toss the **cut potatoes** in **1 tablespoon of olive oil**, and season with **salt and pepper**. Spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake for **20-25 minutes**, or until crispy and golden brown. Flip the fries halfway through cooking for even crispiness. Alternatively, you can fry the potatoes for an even crispier texture.
2. **Set Aside**: Once the fries are done, set them aside to cool slightly while you prepare the beef filling.
2. **Brown the Beef**: Add the **ground beef** to the skillet, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook until browned and fully cooked through, about **7-10 minutes**. Drain any excess fat.
3. **Season the Beef**: Stir in the **taco seasoning** and **1/4 cup of water**. Simmer the mixture for an additional **2-3 minutes**, allowing the flavors to meld together. Taste and adjust seasoning with **salt and pepper** as needed. Remove from heat.
2. **Layer the Ingredients**: Place a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Add a scoop of the **beef mixture** in the center of the tortilla. Next, add a handful of the crispy **fries** on top of the beef, followed by a generous sprinkle of **shredded cheddar cheese**. For extra flavor, you can also add a dollop of **sour cream** and a spoonful of **salsa** if desired.
#### **Step 4: Serve and Enjoy**
1. **Slice and Serve**: Slice the burritos in half and serve them warm with your favorite sides, such as extra salsa, **guacamole**, or a fresh **side salad**.
