No reviews

Delicious and comforting burritos filled with creamy cheese and earthy potatoes, perfect for family gatherings or cozy nights in.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 2 large Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
  • 4 large flour or corn tortillas
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the potatoes by peeling and dicing into small cubes. Boil until fork-tender, about 15 minutes; then drain and return to pot.
  2. Sauté in a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant.
  3. Mash the potatoes lightly, then combine with cheese, spices, and mix-ins like cooked vegetables.
  4. Assemble burritos by scooping the potato mixture onto tortillas, folding sides over, and rolling tightly.
  5. Cook in the skillet, seam-side down, until golden brown; flip to toast all sides.
  6. Serve with salsa, guacamole, or cilantro on top.

Notes

Add additional vegetables for enhanced nutrition and flavor. Don’t overload the tortillas to ensure they stay intact.
