Cheesy Beef and Potato Burritos

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 30 minutes
Course: Dinner
Cuisine: American
Keyword: Cheesy Beef and Potato Burritos, Taco Tuesday
Servings: 5 people

Equipment

  • 1 Air Fryer
  • 1 skillet/stove

Ingredients

  • 3 large potatoes
  • olive oil + salt, pepper, garlic powder (for potatoes)
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1/2 tsp each of salt and pepper
  • 2 tsp of chili powder
  • 1 tsp each of cumin, dried cilantro, and paprika
  • 1/2 cup of water
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic
  • Nacho cheese
  • 5 Burrito size flour tortillas
  • Taco sauce

Instructions

  • Peel, wash, and cut up potatoes into small cubes. Toss them with olive oil, salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder in a large bowl (I don’t use exact measurements for this part).
  • Cook the potatoes in the air fryer at 400 degrees for about 25 minutes shaking them around at least a couple times while they cook.
  • Once the potatoes are cooking add 2 lb of ground beef to a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season with salt, pepper, chili powder, cumin, dried cilantro, and paprika (you could also just use a taco seasoning packet instead of these seasonings). Drain any extra grease if needed once the beef is fully cooked. Add about 1/2 cup of water and stir.
  • The ground beef can stay in the skillet on low heat until the potatoes are crispy.
  • Lay out a large tortilla and add some nacho cheese, a scoop of the ground beef, some taco sauce, a scoop of the crispy potatoes, and top it with a little bit more nacho cheese. Roll the burrito up.
  • Add the burritos to a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook until the burritos are golden brown. Enjoy!
