These Cheesy Potato Burritos with Beef are a delicious and satisfying meal that combines seasoned ground beef, tender diced potatoes, and gooey cheddar cheese, all wrapped up in a warm flour tortilla. Perfect for a quick and comforting dinner!


Ingredients

Scale

Ground Beef Mixture:

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 2 cups diced potatoes (peeled)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion (chopped)
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • ½ teaspoon cumin
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Additional Ingredients:

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 6 large flour tortillas
  • Optional toppings: salsa, hot sauce, chopped cilantro, green onions

Instructions

  1. Cook Potatoes: In a skillet over medium heat, cook diced potatoes in olive oil until golden and fork-tender. Set aside.
  2. Cook Beef Mixture: In the same skillet, cook ground beef and onion until beef is browned. Add cooked potatoes back into the skillet with seasonings and cook to combine.
  3. Add Cheese: Remove from heat and stir in shredded cheddar cheese until melted.
  4. Assemble: Warm tortillas, spoon beef and potato mixture onto each, add a dollop of sour cream, and roll into burritos.
  5. Serve: Enjoy warm with optional toppings.

Notes

  • For extra cheesiness, broil the wrapped burritos with additional cheese for 2–3 minutes.
  • You can use tater tots or hash browns as a shortcut for the potatoes.
