Ingredients
  

1 lb flank steak, thinly sliced

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper, to taste

2 large russet potatoes, cut into fries

1 teaspoon paprika

1 tablespoon vegetable oil (for frying)

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/2 cup sour cream

1/4 cup salsa

4 large flour tortillas

Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Steak: In a bowl, combine the thinly sliced flank steak with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Marinate for at least 30 minutes.

    Fry the Potatoes: Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add the cut russet potatoes and fry until golden crisp, about 5-7 minutes. Sprinkle with paprika, salt, and pepper after frying.

      Cook the Steak: In a separate skillet over high heat, cook the marinated steak until browned and cooked to your liking, about 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Remove from heat.

        Assemble Burritos: On each large tortilla, layer the cooked steak, crispy fries, and a generous portion of shredded cheddar cheese.

          Wrap It Up: Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it up tightly from the bottom to enclose the filling.

            Grill the Burritos: In the same skillet used for the steak, place the burritos seam-side down. Grill for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese has melted.

              Serve: Cut the burritos in half and drizzle with sour cream and salsa. Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve immediately.
