Description

Indulgent cheesy potato burritos with crispy tater tots, seasoned ground beef, and gooey melty cheeses, all wrapped in warm tortillas. Perfect for busy weeknights.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 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
  • 6 large flour tortilla wraps
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Diced tomatoes for garnish
  • Chopped green onions for freshness
  • Cilantro for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven and bake the frozen tater tots according to package directions until they are golden and crisp.
  2. While the tots bake, heat a skillet over medium. Add the ground beef, season with salt and pepper, and brown until no pink remains. Drain excess grease.
  3. Transfer the cooked beef to a large bowl. Add the hot tater tots and gently crush a few with a spatula.
  4. Stir in the shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack, mixing evenly.
  5. Warm each flour tortilla in a dry skillet or microwave for 10–15 seconds.
  6. Spoon the filling down the center of each tortilla. Drizzle with chipotle sauce and add sour cream.
  7. Fold the sides of the tortilla towards the center and roll from the bottom up to form a tight burrito. Place seam-side down in a baking dish.
  8. Sprinkle additional cheese over the top of the burritos and bake in the oven for 5–7 minutes until the cheese melts and bubbles.
  9. Remove from the oven and garnish with diced tomatoes, green onions, and cilantro if using. Serve hot.

Notes

For a one-pan clean up, you can broil the assembled burritos for 1–2 minutes instead of baking.
