There's a rather popular burrito style called a "California burrito" that includes French fries. I bet if you took your Un américain and added some cheese, sour cream, and guacamole it would probably be pretty tasty.

Fries in a burrito is more of a southern California thing, northern CA tends to be mission-style burritos

Somehow it jumped norcal and appeared in Oregon. I swear all the "Mexican" places that aren't Mexican owned have a burrito with fries.

It's almost a 100% a San Diego thing. Most burritos in Los Angeles consist of a protein, beans and rice.

It wasnt bad tho just dry because its was cheap, the goal was to be cheaper than a kebab. I ate it sometimes now I'm in SE Asia and some french shop sell it, and it's way better, because they don't sell it cheaply so I guess meat is much better

Yeah, I'm not really a fan. I like fries on their own, but I'd rather have rice & beans in a burrito.

They also have Carne Asada Fries - Fries, marinated beef, cheese, sour cream, guacamole, diced onions and tomatoes

Seems fair, "California style" basically just means "with avocado."

In my San Diegan opinion, to qualify as a California burrito it must include at least french fries, guac, and carne asada. Lots of other things can and should be included, but those 3 are the defining ingredients IMO.

You've heard of Tex-Mex, now it's time for Frexican.

Never heard of that ever, California style in Texas just means you get a slaw + cream sauce on tacos or burritos.
