Notes

Secret Tips for the Best Steak & Cheese Dirty Fry Burritos

  1. Double-Crisp the Fries for Texture: Bake your fries slightly longer than the package suggests or air-fry them for an extra few minutes. That added crisp keeps them from going soggy when wrapped.
  2. Shred Cheese Fresh for Better Melt: Pre-shredded cheese has anti-caking agents that can make the melt less creamy. Shred fresh cheddar or pepper jack for gooier, smoother results.
  3. Wrap and Rest Before Serving: Once toasted, wrap the burritos in foil and let them sit for 2–3 minutes. This helps all the fillings marry together and makes each bite more cohesive.
  4. Use a Flavor Layering Trick: Add a thin layer of sauce inside the tortilla first, then fries, steak, cheese, and toppings. This ensures every bite has that saucy, seasoned goodness.
  5. Toast the Seam Side First: To prevent the burrito from unraveling, always toast it seam-side down first in the pan. It seals the edge and keeps everything tucked in.
