Description
These cheesy potato burritos combine crunchy tater tots, melty cheese, and a smoky chipotle sauce for the ultimate comfort food.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef (or substitute with ground turkey or plant-based alternative)
- 2 cups frozen tater tots
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded monterey jack cheese
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup Taco Bell chipotle sauce (adjust to taste)
- 6 large flour tortilla wraps
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Diced tomatoes for freshness
- Chopped green onions for crunch
- Cilantro if you like herb drama
Instructions
- Preheat the oven and cook the frozen tater tots according to the package instructions until golden and crispy.
- In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef and season with salt and pepper. Cook until no longer pink, then drain excess grease.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked ground beef, crispy tater tots (slightly crushed), shredded cheddar cheese, and shredded monterey jack cheese. Mix well.
- Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for 10-15 seconds.
- Spoon a generous amount of the filling mixture onto the center of each tortilla, drizzle with chipotle sauce, and add sour cream.
- Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then fold the bottom up and roll tightly to form a burrito.
- Place the burritos seam-side down in a baking dish and sprinkle additional shredded cheese on top. Bake for 5-7 minutes until the cheese melts.
- Remove from the oven and garnish with diced tomatoes, chopped green onions, and cilantro if desired. Serve hot with extra sour cream and chipotle sauce on the side.
