Ingredients
Scale
Protein
- 1 lb Ground Beef
Vegetables
- 2 cups Potatoes, peeled and cubed
Dairy
- 1–2 cups Cheese, shredded (Cheddar, Monterey Jack, or Pepper Jack)
Wrap
- 4–6 Tortillas (Flour or Corn)
Seasonings
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- Spices to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Potatoes: Start by peeling and chopping your potatoes into small cubes. Boil them in salted water until fork-tender, then drain and mash them with a little butter and cheese for extra creaminess.
- Cook the Beef: In a skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat, breaking it up with a spatula. Season it with salt, pepper, and any additional spices you prefer until fully cooked.
- Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes with the cooked beef. Mix in more cheese for that extra gooeyness, ensuring everything is well incorporated.
- Assemble the Burritos: Lay a tortilla flat and spoon a generous portion of the beef and potato mixture into the center. Fold in the sides and roll it up tightly to secure the filling inside.
- Cook the Burritos: In a hot skillet, place the burritos seam-side down and cook until golden brown and crispy. Flip them over to achieve that perfect, crunchy exterior.
Notes
- Don’t Overfill: Be careful not to overstuff your burritos; a manageable amount will make wrapping them easier.
- Use Leftover Potatoes: If you have leftover mashed potatoes, this is a perfect way to utilize them!
- Watch the Heat: Cooking on medium heat prevents burning while ensuring everything is heated through.
- Wrap Tightly: Make sure to wrap your burritos tightly so they don’t fall apart during cooking or serving.
- Experiment with Flavors: Feel free to add herbs or spices to the beef for a unique twist!
