directions

Step 1

Beef mixture: in a bowl, pour boiling water over dried mushrooms; set aside.

Step 2

In Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed saucepan, heat 2 Tbsp of the oil over medium-high heat; cook ground beef, breaking up with spoon, until no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Add onions, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add mushrooms; cook, stirring, until tender, about 5 minutes Stir in garlic, salt and pepper; cook, stirring for 1 minute.

Step 3

Sprinkle flour over mixture in pan; cook, stirring for 2 minutes. Stir in thyme, soaked mushrooms and soaking liquid, and broth.

Step 4

Bring to boil; reduce heat, cover and simmer until thickened, about 3 minutes. Stir in mustard and Worcestershire sauce; set aside. (Tip: Let cool for 30 minutes. Refrigerate in airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 1 month. Reheat before continuing.)

Step 5

Meanwhile, prepare fries according to package directions; keep warm.

Step 6

Lay tortillas on work surface. On each tortilla, arrange a handful of the fries along centre. Top with ½ cup of the beef mixture; sprinkle cheese curds evenly over top. Roll up, tucking in ends. Arrange, seam side down on greased rimmed baking sheet. Brush tops of burritos lightly with remaining oil.

Step 7

Bake burritos in 400°F (200°C) oven until hot and light golden, about 10 minutes. To serve, cut each burrito in half and arrange on a bed of the remaining fries.
