Notes

Recipe tips

Cook the fries until crispy - I prefer making fries in the air fryer because they get crispier. I use an oven-style air fryer with a mesh tray. If you’re making a large batch, the oven may be easier.
Don’t overcook the beef - Cook the ground beef through, but try not to let it dry out.
Meal prep tip - If you’re making this for a few days, store all components separately. Reheat the beef and fries, then add lettuce, tomato, and sauce just before serving.
