Description
Cheesy Potato Burritos are a delicious and easy-to-make dish filled with creamy mashed potatoes and melted cheese, wrapped in soft flour tortillas.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large russet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup sour cream (optional, for serving)
- 1 cup salsa (optional, for serving)
Instructions
- In a large pot, bring water to a boil and add the diced potatoes. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, or until tender. Drain and return to the pot.
- Add olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, salt, and pepper to the potatoes. Mash until smooth and well combined.
- Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and fully incorporated.
- Warm the flour tortillas in a skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, or until pliable.
- Spoon an equal amount of the cheesy potato mixture onto the center of each tortilla. Fold in the sides and roll up tightly to form burritos.
- If desired, place the burritos seam-side down in a skillet over medium heat and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
- Serve warm with sour cream and salsa on the side.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add diced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the potato mixture.
- Substitute the cheddar cheese with pepper jack or a dairy-free cheese alternative for a different flavor profile.
