These Cheesy Potato Burritos, inspired by Taco Bell's beloved menu, are a delightful blend of cheesy goodness and tender potatoes wrapped up in a warm tortilla.
Ingredients
Scale:
2 large Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes
1 cup shredded cheddar or nacho cheese
4 large flour or whole wheat tortillas
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Sour cream (optional)
Salsa (optional)
Guacamole (optional)
Instructions
Peel and dice the potatoes into small cubes. Boil them in a pot of salted water for about 15 minutes or until tender.
Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Mash until smooth, then mix in the cheese, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
For a creamier filling, consider adding a splash of milk or cream while mashing to reach your desired consistency.
Warm each tortilla in the microwave for about 10 seconds to make them pliable.
Spoon a generous portion of the cheesy potato mixture onto each tortilla.
Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it tightly from bottom to top to form a burrito.
To keep the burrito from unravelling, you can use a toothpick to secure it, especially if you plan on baking or grilling the burritos afterward.
Optional: Before rolling the burrito, sprinkle a bit of extra cheese over the filling for a deliciously gooey center.
