Description
Delicious burritos packed with crispy tater tots, seasoned ground beef, and melty cheese, perfect for feeding a crowd.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef (or substitute with ground turkey or plant-based crumble)
- 2 cups frozen tater tots
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (divided)
- 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese (divided)
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup chipotle sauce
- 6 large flour tortillas
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Optional garnishes: diced tomatoes, chopped green onions, fresh cilantro
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Arrange tater tots on a baking sheet and bake according to package directions until golden and crispy. Let cool slightly; crush a few tots to add texture.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef, season with salt and pepper, and cook until no pink remains (160°F). Drain excess grease.
- In a large bowl, combine cooked beef, crispy tater tots, 3/4 cup cheddar, and 3/4 cup Monterey Jack. Toss gently to keep some tots whole.
- Warm tortillas in microwave or skillet until pliable.
- Spoon filling evenly onto each tortilla. Drizzle with chipotle sauce and add a dollop of sour cream.
- Fold in short sides, then roll tightly. Place seam-side down in a greased baking dish.
- Sprinkle remaining cheese over burritos. Bake for 5–7 minutes until cheese is melted. For extra crispness, broil for 1 minute.
- Garnish with diced tomatoes, green onions, and cilantro. Serve hot.
