Ingredients
  

Burrito Filling
  • 1 cup cooked and seasoned ground beef Use lean ground beef to reduce grease.
  • 2 cups crispy tater tots Cook according to package directions.
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese Can swap for Monterey Jack or a Mexican blend.
  • 1 tablespoon taco seasoning Can adjust spice level if desired.
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil For browning beef.
For Serving
  • 1/2 cup sour cream For serving.
  • 4 large flour tortillas Use whole wheat for a lighter version.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet for easy cleanup.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef, season with salt and pepper, and cook until nicely browned and no pink remains.
  3. Stir in 1 tablespoon taco seasoning and add a splash of water. Simmer for 1 to 2 minutes so the flavors coat the meat. Remove from heat.
Cooking
  1. Cook the tater tots according to the package directions until golden and crispy. Drain on paper towels if needed.
  2. Lay a flour tortilla flat. Down the center place about 1/4 cup of the seasoned beef, 1/2 cup of tater tots, and 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese.
  3. Fold the short sides in toward the filling, then roll tightly so the seam is underneath. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
  4. Place each burrito seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese is melted.
  5. Serve hot with sour cream on the side.
