→ Sauce Ingredients
09 -
1/2 cup mayonnaise
10 -
1/4 cup ketchup
11 -
1 tablespoon yellow mustard
12 -
2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish
13 -
1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar
14 -
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
15 -
1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
# Instructions:
01 -
Combine mayonnaise, ketchup, yellow mustard, sweet relish, vinegar, garlic powder, and smoked paprika in a mixing bowl. Mix thoroughly until smooth and refrigerate until assembly.
02 -
Heat crinkle-cut French fries in an air fryer or conventional oven according to package directions until crisp and golden. Set aside.
03 -
Form ground beef into four evenly sized patties if not pre-shaped.
04 -
Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium-high heat. Melt butter and add chopped onions, cooking while stirring frequently until onions are softened and deeply caramelized.
05 -
Place patties onto hot griddle. Press each with a burger smasher to flatten. Spread yellow mustard on each patty and season with hamburger seasoning. Allow a crust to develop, then flip and continue cooking until cooked through. Remove and chop into bite-sized pieces.
06 -
Lay one tortilla flat. Spread a generous layer of animal-style sauce. Add a portion of fries, a slice of American cheese, chopped burger, caramelized onions, an additional slice of cheese, and a little more sauce. Fold and roll the tortilla into a tight burrito shape.
07 -
Place rolled burritos seam-side down onto the hot griddle over medium heat. Cook until the exterior is golden brown and crisp on all sides. Remove from heat and serve immediately.
# Notes:
01 -
Spread sauce evenly to prevent soggy burritos and ensure even flavor distribution.
