Ingredients
→ Potatoes:
3 large potatoes, peeled and diced
Olive oil (enough to coat)
Salt, to taste
Pepper, to taste
Garlic powder, to taste
Paprika, to taste
→ Beef Filling:
1 lb ground beef
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon pepper
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon dried cilantro
1 teaspoon paprika
½ cup water
1 tablespoon minced garlic
→ Burrito Assembly:
Nacho cheese (store-bought or homemade)
5 burrito-size flour tortillas
Taco sauce (for added flavor)
Instructions
1. Cook the Potatoes:
Peel and cube the potatoes. Toss them in olive oil with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
Cook in an air fryer at 400°F (200°C) for 25 minutes, shaking the basket occasionally.
2. Make the Beef Filling:
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef.
Add salt, pepper, chili powder, cumin, cilantro, paprika, and garlic.
Stir in ½ cup water and simmer until thickened. Keep warm on low heat.
3. Assemble the Burritos:
Lay out a tortilla. Spread a layer of nacho cheese, followed by a scoop of beef, a spoonful of taco sauce, crispy potatoes, and another layer of cheese.
Roll tightly into a burrito shape.
4. Grill the Burritos:
Place burritos seam-side down in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Cook until golden brown and crisp on all sides.
Notes
Use leftover roasted potatoes to save time.
Swap ground beef for ground turkey or black beans for a lighter or vegetarian version.
Add jalapeños or hot sauce for extra heat.
Burritos can be wrapped and frozen before grilling for make-ahead meals.
