Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 3 cups frozen tater tots
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- Optional: additional cheese (e.g. Monterey Jack)
- 5–6 burrito-sized flour tortillas
- Sour cream (for serving)
- Chipotle sauce or preferred spicy sauce
- Salt & pepper to taste
- Optional extras: diced tomatoes, green onions, cilantro
Instructions
- Preheat oven or air fryer and cook tater tots according to package instructions until golden and crisp.
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef, breaking it apart. Season with salt and pepper. Drain excess fat.
- In a large bowl, combine cooked beef, crispy tater tots (some crushed), and shredded cheese. Mix gently.
- Warm tortillas in a dry pan or microwave to make them flexible.
- Assemble each burrito by placing a portion of the beef-potato-cheese mixture in the center of a tortilla. Add a drizzle of chipotle sauce and a spoon of sour cream.
- Fold the sides in and roll up the burrito tightly from the bottom.
- Place burritos seam-side down in a baking dish. Sprinkle extra cheese on top if desired. Bake at 350°F (175°C) until heated through and cheese is melted, about 10–15 minutes. Alternatively, crisp in a skillet until golden on all sides.
- Serve hot with additional sour cream, diced tomatoes, or green onions if desired.
Notes
- Customize with different cheese blends or add-ins like jalapeños or bell peppers.
- Use vegetarian protein or beans for a meatless version.
- Wrap and freeze for up to 3 months for easy meal prep.
- Reheat in oven, microwave, or skillet for best texture.
- Warming tortillas helps prevent cracking during assembly.
