Instructions
Cook the french fries according to package directions.
While the fries are cooking, mix the salt, garlic powder, black pepper, cumin and cayenne pepper into a small bowl. This mixture will season the french fries.
When the fries are cooked and golden brown, put them in a larger mixing bowl, then top with the seasoning mix. Reduce the oven temp to 350 degrees
Gently toss the hot french fries to coat them with seasoning. Set aside and cover to keep warm.
Warm the tortillas in small batches (about 2-4 tortillas per batch) in the microwave for about 30-1 minute on 50% power. Set on a tray for the assembly.
Assemble Burrito with 3-4 ounces carne asada and 3-4 ounces of seasoned fries then top with cheddar and pepper jack cheeses, 1 tsp salsa, 1 tsp guacamole, onion and cilantro.
Starting at the edge closest to you, roll up the tortilla tightly, fold in each side and continue rolling to form the burrito. Set aside on a serving platter, and continue filling and rolling all the burritos
Serve with additional salsa or with sour cream if desired.
Notes
This recipe can be using 12-inch tortillas and allow you to fill with more filling which may then reduce the # of servings.
The tortillas can be warmed in the oven on a cooking sheet and covered in foil, at approximately 250 degrees for 5-10 minutes. Any warmer might dry out the tortillas.
