Tortilla and Filling

French Fries

Method

Preparation of Filling

  1. 1

    Prepare Vegetables

    Wash and dry the spinach and lettuce. Chop the tomato into small cubes.

  2. 2

    Assemble Filling

    In a bowl, combine the spinach, lettuce, and chopped tomato. Mix well.

Making Red Sauce

  1. 3

    Combine Sauce Ingredients

    In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the tomato sauce, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well mixed and bring to a simmer.

  2. 4

    Simmer Sauce

    Allow the sauce to simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and set aside.

Assembling and Cooking

  1. 5

    Warm Tortillas

    In a skillet, warm the flour tortillas over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until they are pliable.

  2. 6

    Fill Tortillas

    Take a warm tortilla and place a portion of the vegetable mixture in the center. Sprinkle with shredded cheese.

  3. 7

    Fold Tortillas

    Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling and then roll it up tightly to create a burrito. Repeat with remaining tortillas.

  4. 8

    Heat Burritos

    In the same skillet, place the burritos seam-side down and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and the cheese has melted.

Cooking French Fries

  1. 9

    Prepare Fries

    Cook the frozen French fries according to package instructions, either in the oven or fryer until crispy.

Serving

  1. 10

    Plate the Dish

    Place the cooked burritos on a plate, drizzle with the red sauce, and serve alongside the crispy French fries.
