Cheesy Potato Burritos with Beef (Print-Friendly Version)

Ground beef, cheddar, and roasted potatoes create flavorful burritos with a creamy finish in every bite.

# Ingredients You’ll Need:

→ Main Filling

01 - 1 pound ground beef
02 - 3 medium russet potatoes, peeled and diced
03 - 1 small onion, chopped
04 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
05 - 1 teaspoon onion powder
06 - 1 teaspoon chili powder
07 - 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
08 - Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
09 - 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
10 - 1/2 cup sour cream

→ Tortillas and Oil

11 - 6 large flour tortillas
12 - 2 tablespoons olive oil

# How to Make It:

01 - Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced potatoes and cook, turning occasionally, for 10 to 12 minutes until golden and tender. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
02 - In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon olive oil. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3 to 4 minutes until softened.
03 - Add the ground beef to the skillet with the onion. Cook, breaking up the meat with a spoon, until browned, about 6 to 8 minutes. Drain excess fat.
04 - Add garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper to the cooked beef. Stir thoroughly to ensure even distribution of spices.
05 - Return the sautéed potatoes to the skillet. Gently mix until the potatoes are evenly incorporated with the beef mixture.
06 - Add shredded cheddar cheese and sour cream to the skillet. Reduce heat to low and stir until cheese is melted and mixture is creamy.
07 - Heat flour tortillas in a microwave or on a dry pan for about 20 seconds to make them pliable.
08 - Spoon the beef and potato filling onto the center of each tortilla. Fold in the sides and roll up tightly to enclose the filling.
09 - For a toasted finish, place assembled burritos seam-side down in a clean skillet and cook over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes per side until golden.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - Nutritional values are approximate and may differ based on ingredient brands and portion sizes.
02 - For a meatless alternative, substitute the ground beef with one 15-ounce can of black beans, rinsed and drained.
