Ingredients

Scale

Meat and Potato Filling

  • 1 pound ground beef
    (Ground turkey or plant-based alternative works well)

  • 2 cups frozen tater tots

Cheese and Sauces

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese

  • ½ cup sour cream

  • ¼ cup chipotle sauce (adjust to taste)

Wraps and Seasoning

  • 6 large flour tortillas

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Optional Toppings

  • Diced tomatoes

  • Chopped green onions

  • Fresh cilantro

Instructions

1. Prepare the Tater Tots

Preheat the oven according to the package instructions. Bake the frozen tater tots until golden and crispy. Remove from the oven and slightly crush them to add texture to the filling.

2. Cook the Ground Beef

Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned and no longer pink. Drain excess grease and set aside.

3. Combine the Filling

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked ground beef, crushed tater tots, shredded cheddar cheese, and shredded Monterey Jack cheese. Mix until evenly combined.

4. Warm the Tortillas

Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for 10–15 seconds to make them soft and pliable.

5. Assemble the Burritos

Spoon a generous portion of the filling into the center of each tortilla. Drizzle with chipotle sauce and add a dollop of sour cream.

6. Fold and Bake

Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll tightly into burritos. Place them seam-side down in a baking dish. Sprinkle extra cheese on top if desired and bake for 5–7 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

7. Serve

Remove from the oven and garnish with diced tomatoes, green onions, and cilantro if using. Serve hot with extra sour cream or chipotle sauce on the side.

Notes

  • Warm tortillas first to prevent cracking while rolling.

  • Extra crispy filling: Bake the tater tots a few minutes longer before mixing.

  • Spicy upgrade: Add sliced jalapeños or increase the chipotle sauce.

  • Make ahead: Assemble burritos in advance and bake just before serving.
