Ingredients

Scale

Meat & Potato Filling

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

  • 2 cups frozen tater tots

Cheese & Sauces

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese

  • ½ cup sour cream

  • ¼ cup chipotle sauce (adjust to taste)

Wraps & Seasoning

  • 6 large flour tortillas

  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Optional Toppings

  • Diced tomatoes

  • Chopped green onions

  • Fresh cilantro

Instructions

  • Cook the Tater Tots
    Preheat the oven and bake the frozen tater tots according to package instructions until golden and crispy. Set aside.

  • Brown the Ground Beef
    Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the ground beef until fully browned. Season with salt and pepper, then drain excess grease.

  • Prepare the Filling
    In a large bowl, combine the cooked beef, crispy tater tots (lightly crushed), cheddar cheese, and Monterey Jack cheese. Mix well.

  • Warm the Tortillas
    Heat tortillas briefly in a dry skillet or microwave for 10–15 seconds to make them soft and flexible.

  • Assemble the Burritos
    Spoon a generous amount of filling onto the center of each tortilla. Drizzle with chipotle sauce and add a spoonful of sour cream.

  • Roll the Burritos
    Fold in the sides, fold the bottom up, and roll tightly to form burritos.

  • Bake Until Cheesy
    Place burritos seam-side down in a baking dish. Sprinkle extra cheese on top and bake for 5–7 minutes until melted and bubbly.

  • Serve
    Garnish with diced tomatoes, green onions, and cilantro if desired. Serve hot with extra sour cream and chipotle sauce.

Notes

  • Prevent cracking: Always warm tortillas before rolling.

  • Extra crispy: Air-fry the tater tots for an even crunch.

  • Spicy version: Add jalapeños or extra chipotle sauce.

  • Protein swap: Ground turkey or plant-based meat works perfectly.

  • Meal prep: Burritos can be assembled ahead and baked when ready.
