Ingredients

– 3 large potatoes

– Olive oil for tossing

– 1/2 teaspoon salt for seasoning potatoes

– 1/2 teaspoon pepper for seasoning potatoes

– Garlic powder for seasoning potatoes

– 1 lb (about 450 grams) ground beef

– 1/2 teaspoon salt for seasoning beef

– 1/2 teaspoon pepper for seasoning beef

– 2 teaspoons chili powder

– 1 teaspoon cumin

– 1 teaspoon dried cilantro

– 1 teaspoon paprika

– 1/2 cup (120 ml) water

– 1 tablespoon minced garlic

– Nacho cheese for assembling

– Burrito-size flour tortillas (enough for 5 large burritos)

– Taco sauce for assembling

Instructions

1-Getting started: with this cheesy beef and potato burritos recipe is fun and straightforward. Begin by peeling, washing, and cutting 3 large potatoes into small cubes to ensure they cook evenly. Toss the potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder until they’re well coated for that perfect flavor.

2-Next, cook the potatoes in an air fryer at 400Β°F (about 200Β°C) for around 25 minutes, shaking them occasionally for crispiness, or bake them in the oven for about 30 minutes. While the potatoes are cooking, brown 1 lb of ground beef over medium-high heat and season it with 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and pepper, 2 teaspoons chili powder, 1 teaspoon each of cumin, dried cilantro, and paprika, plus 1 tablespoon minced garlic. Drain any excess grease and stir in 1/2 cup water, then keep it on low heat to meld the flavors.

3-Once everything is ready, warm the flour tortillas and nacho cheese to make assembly easy. Spread nacho cheese on each tortilla, then layer on the ground beef, taco sauce, crispy potatoes, and a bit more nacho cheese before rolling it up tightly. Finally, cook the burritos in a skillet over medium-high heat until the outside turns golden brown, giving them that irresistible crunch. This method not only makes cheesy beef and potato burritos hearty but also ensures they’re ready in no time for a delicious meal.
