For the Potatoes:
- 3 large potatoes peeled and diced
- olive oil
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- garlic powder to taste
- paprika to taste
For the Beef Mixture:
- 1 pound ground beef
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon dried cilantro
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 cup water
For Assembly:

- 5 large flour tortillas burrito size
- taco sauce
Begin by peeling and dicing your potatoes into small cubes. In a bowl, combine them with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika until evenly coated.
For Beef Mixture:
While the potatoes are cooking, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef, seasoning it with salt, pepper, chili powder, cumin, dried cilantro, paprika, and minced garlic. Brown the beef completely, breaking it apart as it cooks.
Once the beef is cooked, drain any excess grease, then add water. Stir and allow it to simmer on low heat while the potatoes finish cooking.
For Assembly:
To assemble the burritos, lay out a tortilla and spread a layer of warm nacho cheese on it. Add some of the seasoned beef, drizzle with taco sauce, and include a generous portion of the crispy potatoes. Top with more nacho cheese for extra indulgence.
Roll the burrito tightly, ensuring the seam is on the bottom. Cook in a skillet over medium-high heat until each side is golden and crispy, turning for a few minutes.
Serve the burritos warm and enjoy the deliciously cheesy, spicy, and crispy flavors! They make for a quick and satisfying meal.
