Description
These cheesy potato burritos are the ultimate comfort food with crispy tater tots, melty cheese, and seasoned ground meat wrapped in warm tortillas.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef (or ground turkey / plant-based alternative)
- 2 cups frozen tater tots (about one small bag)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 1/2 cup sour cream (optional)
- 1/4 cup chipotle sauce
- 6 large flour tortillas
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Optional garnishes: diced tomatoes, chopped green onions, cilantro
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly oil a baking dish large enough for six burritos to sit seam-side down.
- Cook tater tots according to package directions until golden and crispy.
- Add the ground beef to a preheated skillet, season with salt and pepper, and cook until fully browned.
- Combine the cooked beef, crushed tater tots, cheddar, and Monterey Jack cheeses in a mixing bowl.
- Warm tortillas in a skillet or microwave to prevent cracking when rolling.
- Spoon the filling into each tortilla, add chipotle sauce, roll tightly, and place seam-side down in the baking dish.
- Sprinkle extra cheese over the burritos and bake for 5–7 minutes until melted.
- Garnish with diced tomatoes, green onions, and cilantro before serving.
Notes
Don’t overfill tortillas; a tight roll seals better. Feel free to customize the filling to suit dietary preferences.
