Crispy Potato Burritos with a Creamy Filling

by

These Cheesy Potato Burritos are the ultimate comfort food. Soft, warm flour tortillas are filled with a rich and creamy mashed potato mixture loaded with melted cheese, spices, and a hint of tangy sour cream. The combination of creamy potatoes and gooey cheese creates a satisfying meal that’s perfect for lunch or dinner.

  1. Ingredients:
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 3 medium russet potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
  • 1/2 cup salsa (optional, for serving)
  • 1 tablespoon butter (optional, for toasting burritos)

Directions:

  1. Start by boiling the diced potatoes in a large pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender. Drain and set aside.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and garlic, cooking for 2-3 minutes until softened.
  3. Add the cooked potatoes to the skillet and mash them slightly with a fork or potato masher. Stir in cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Continue cooking for 3-4 minutes to allow the flavors to blend.
  4. Lower the heat and add the shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, and milk to the skillet. Stir until the cheese is melted and the mixture is creamy. Adjust the seasoning if necessary.
  5. Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds until soft and pliable.
  6. Spoon the cheesy potato mixture onto the center of each tortilla, then fold in the sides and roll up tightly into burritos.
  7. Optional: For extra crispiness, melt butter in a skillet over medium heat and toast the burritos on both sides for 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
  8. Serve the burritos with a side of salsa and garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired.
