Cheesy Potato Burritos (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Main Components

01 - 1 pound ground beef (or substitute with ground turkey or plant-based alternative)
02 - 2 cups frozen tater tots
03 - 6 large flour tortilla wraps

→ Cheese & Sauces

04 - 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
05 - 1 cup shredded monterey jack cheese
06 - 1/2 cup sour cream
07 - 1/4 cup Taco Bell chipotle sauce, adjust to taste

→ Seasonings & Optional Toppings

08 - Salt and pepper to taste
09 - Diced tomatoes (optional)
10 - Chopped green onions (optional)
11 - Cilantro (optional)

# Instructions:

01 - Preheat the oven and cook the tater tots according to package instructions until they are golden and crispy.
02 - In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef and season with salt and pepper to taste. Once fully cooked, drain any excess grease.
03 - In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked ground beef, crispy tater tots (slightly crushed), shredded cheddar cheese, and shredded monterey jack cheese. Mix until well combined.
04 - Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for about 10-15 seconds to make them pliable.
05 - Spoon a generous portion of the filling onto the center of each tortilla. Drizzle chipotle sauce over the filling and add a dollop of sour cream.
06 - Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then fold the bottom up and roll tightly to form a burrito. Place in a baking dish, sprinkle with additional cheese, and bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
07 - Remove from oven and garnish with diced tomatoes, chopped green onions, and cilantro if desired. Serve hot with extra sour cream and chipotle sauce on the side.

# Notes:

01 - Warming the tortillas helps prevent them from cracking when assembling the burritos.
02 - You can substitute the ground beef with ground turkey or a plant-based alternative for different flavor or dietary preferences.
03 - Slightly crushing the tater tots helps them distribute better in the filling and makes rolling easier.
04 - These are the ultimate comfort meal with crispy potatoes, beef, and melted cheese.
