Description
Cheesy Potato Burritos blend crunchy tater tots, seasoned ground beef, and melty cheese for a comforting, hearty meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef (or substitute ground turkey or plant-based crumble)
- 2 cups frozen tater tots (or 2 cups shredded frozen hash browns, squeezed dry)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 1/2 cup sour cream (or plain Greek yogurt)
- 1/4 cup Taco Bell chipotle sauce (or chipotle mayo)
- 6 large flour tortillas (10–12 inch)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional garnish: diced tomatoes, chopped green onions, cilantro
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the frozen tater tots according to package directions until golden and crisp. Let cool slightly and break up a few.
- In a skillet over medium heat, add ground beef. Season with salt and pepper. Brown the beef, breaking it into small pieces, until cooked through.
- In a large bowl, combine the cooked beef, crispy tater tots, shredded cheddar, and shredded Monterey Jack. Mix well. Add sour cream and chipotle sauce to taste; stir until evenly incorporated.
- Warm each tortilla in a dry skillet or microwave for 10–15 seconds. Lay a tortilla flat and spoon a generous amount of filling down the center.
- Drizzle extra chipotle sauce on filling, fold sides over, and roll tightly. Place burritos seam-side down in a baking dish.
- Sprinkle additional shredded cheese over the tops. Bake for 5–7 minutes until cheese melts and burritos are heated through.
- Remove from oven and garnish with diced tomatoes, green onions, and cilantro if using. Serve hot with extra sour cream and chipotle sauce for dipping.
Notes
For lighter options, drain excess fat after browning the meat or use lean turkey. For gluten-free, use corn tortillas.
