Cheesy Potato Burritos
Cheesy Potato Burritos are a quick and comforting meal, perfect for busy evenings. Soft, creamy potatoes wrapped in warm tortillas with cheese create a family favorite.
Ingredients
For the filling
- 2 large large potatoes, peeled and diced (about 1 pound)
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar works wonders!)
- 1/2 cup sour cream (the extra creaminess makes a difference!)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 4 large flour tortillas
- Optional: diced green onions or cooked bacon for an added punch!
Instructions
Cooking the Potatoes
- Boil the diced potatoes in a large pot of salted water until they're fork-tender (about 10-12 minutes). Drain and let them steam dry for a minute.
Mixing the Filling
- Mash the tender potatoes in a mixing bowl. Add shredded cheese, sour cream, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until creamy. Optionally, add green onions or bacon bits.
Wrapping the Burritos
- Lay a tortilla flat and spoon 1/4 of the cheesy potato mixture down the center. Fold in the sides and roll it up tightly. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
Toasting the Burritos
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place the burritos seam-side down and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side until golden and crispy.
Serving
- Slice the burritos in half, serve with sour cream or salsa, and enjoy.
Notes
You can substitute potatoes with leftover meat or veggies. Make a double batch and freeze for quick meals. Get the kids involved in wrapping for a fun family activity.
