Ingredients
3 large potatoes
Olive oil for coating potatoes
Salt for seasoning potatoes, plus 1/2 teaspoon for beef
Pepper for seasoning potatoes, plus 1/2 teaspoon for beef
Garlic powder for seasoning potatoes
1 lb ground beef
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon dried cilantro
1 teaspoon paprika plus additional for potatoes
1/2 cup water
1 tablespoon minced garlic
Nacho cheese sauce
5 burrito-size flour tortillas
Taco sauce
Instructions
1-First, start by peeling, washing, and cutting 3 large potatoes into small cubes. Toss them with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika until they’re well coated. Cook these in an air fryer at 400°F (200°C) for 25 minutes, shaking occasionally for even crispiness, or bake them in an oven at 400°F (200°C) for 30 minutes.
2-Next, in a skillet over medium-high heat, cook 1 lb ground beef with 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, 2 teaspoons chili powder, 1 teaspoon cumin, 1 teaspoon dried cilantro, 1 teaspoon paprika, and 1 tablespoon minced garlic. Once browned, drain any excess grease if needed, then add 1/2 cup water, stir it in, and keep the mixture warm on low heat.
3-Then, warm your 5 burrito-size flour tortillas and the nacho cheese sauce. To assemble, lay a tortilla flat, spread on some nacho cheese sauce, add a scoop of the ground beef mixture, a bit of taco sauce, the crispy potatoes, and more nacho cheese sauce on top. Roll it carefully into a burrito shape.
4-Finally, cook the assembled burritos in a skillet over medium-high heat until they’re golden brown on all sides. Serve them right away for the best taste, or save some for later as they reheat well.
Notes
🍗 Substitute ground beef with chicken breast cubes for a lighter option.
🌶 Use a taco seasoning packet for convenience instead of individual spices.
🌯 Warm tortillas to make rolling burritos easier and prevent cracking.
