Ingredients

Scale

Burger and Filling

  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • Yellow mustard, as needed
  • 1 pound ground beef, formed into 4 patties
  • McCormick Hamburger Seasoning, to taste
  • 8 slices American cheese
  • 28-ounce bag crinkle-cut fries
  • 4 large burrito-size tortillas

Homemade Sauce

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
  • 2 tablespoons sweet relish
  • 1 tablespoon vinegar
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sauce: In a bowl, combine 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1/4 cup ketchup, 1 tablespoon yellow mustard, 2 tablespoons sweet relish, 1 tablespoon vinegar, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika. Mix well until smooth and flavors meld together. Refrigerate the sauce until ready to use to let the flavors develop.
  2. Cook the Fries: Cook the 28-ounce bag of crinkle-cut fries according to the package instructions either in an air fryer or oven until they are crispy and golden. Set aside once cooked.
  3. Prepare Burger Patties: Form 1 pound of ground beef into four even patties if using fresh ground beef instead of pre-formed ones.
  4. Cook the Onions: Heat a griddle over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of butter and the chopped onion. Stir continuously and cook the onions until they become soft, caramelized, and golden brown, enhancing their sweetness and flavor.
  5. Cook the Burger Patties: Place the beef patties onto the griddle. Use a burger smasher to flatten each patty thinly. Spread yellow mustard over the top of each patty and sprinkle with McCormick Hamburger Seasoning to taste. Let the patties cook until a flavorful crust forms on the underside, then flip and cook through. Once cooked, chop the patties into smaller bite-sized pieces for easier burrito assembly.
  6. Assemble the Burrito: Lay one large burrito-size tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread a layer of the prepared homemade sauce over the tortilla. Add a handful of the cooked crispy fries, place one slice of American cheese, then a portion of the chopped burger pieces, followed by a generous amount of the caramelized onions. Add a second slice of American cheese and spoon more sauce on top. Carefully roll the tortilla into a tight burrito, ensuring ingredients are well-packed inside.
  7. Toast the Burrito: Place the rolled burrito seam-side down on the heated griddle over medium heat. Cook until the tortilla is golden brown and crisp on both sides, pressing gently to seal and melt the cheese inside. Remove from heat and serve immediately for best taste and texture.

Notes

  • Use an air fryer for faster cooking of fries with less oil or an oven if preferred.
  • Adjust the amount of mustard and relish in the sauce to suit your taste.
  • For a sharper flavor, substitute American cheese with cheddar or pepper jack if desired.
  • Ensure the burrito is rolled tightly to prevent filling from spilling during toasting.
  • Leftover sauce can be stored refrigerated for up to one week.
