Step-by-Step Instructions
1 Caramelize the Onions

In a skillet over medium heat, melt butter.
Add chopped onions, sugar, and a pinch of salt. Cook slowly for 10–12 minutes, stirring often, until soft and golden. Set aside.
2 Cook the Fries

Prepare your fries (frozen or homemade).
Air-fry or bake until crispy. Salt them lightly once done.
3 Brown the Ground Beef

In a skillet over medium-high heat, add ground beef.
Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and optional mustard.
Cook until browned and no longer pink (about 6–8 minutes). Drain excess grease if needed.
4 Make the Animal-Style Sauce

In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, ketchup, relish, vinegar, sugar, and mustard. Mix well and refrigerate until ready.
5 Warm the Tortillas

Heat tortillas in a dry pan or microwave until soft and pliable.
6 Assemble the Burrito

Lay each tortilla flat and layer:

A generous spoonful of the special sauce

Ground beef

Caramelized onions

A layer of shredded cheese

Hot, crispy fries

Extra sauce or optional toppings (lettuce, tomato, pickles)

7 Fold and Grill

Fold burrito-style: tuck in the sides, then roll tightly.
Place seam-side down in a skillet and grill over medium heat for 2–3 minutes per side until golden and crispy.
