Directions
-
In a large skillet over medium heat, begin by browning the ground beef until it is fully cooked. Use a wooden spoon to break it apart as you cook. Once it is browned, drain any excess fat to keep the filling light and delicious.
-
Next, stir in the taco seasoning and water. Allow the beef mixture to simmer for about 5 minutes. This will enable the flavors to meld beautifully and thicken the mixture. The aroma in your kitchen at this stage will be nothing short of tremendous.
-
While the beef simmers, take a bowl and combine the freshly mashed potatoes with the shredded cheese. Mix them well until the cheese is fully incorporated into the potatoes. The creamy texture will create a wonderful contrast with the flavorful beef.
-
Now, it’s time to assemble the burritos. Place a tortilla on a flat surface. Add a generous scoop of the beef mixture followed by a scoop of the potato and cheese blend. Don’t be shy; you want these burritos to be hearty!
-
Carefully roll the tortilla tightly around the filling to form a burrito. Make sure to tuck in the edges to keep everything secure.
-
Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas until all the filling has been used. It’s a tremendous way to see how much deliciousness can be packed into a simple tortilla.
-
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Once it’s hot, place each burrito seam-side down in the skillet. Toast each burrito until golden brown on both sides, which should take about 3-4 minutes per side. This will give the burritos a delightful crispy texture that contrasts wonderfully with the soft filling.
-
Serve your cheesy potato beef burritos warm, with sour cream and salsa on the side if you desire. These condiments can elevate the flavors even more, providing a pleasant tang against the richness of the filling.
