# What You'll Need:
→ Main Ingredients
01 -
Salt and pepper just how you like it
02 -
6 big flour tortillas
03 -
1/4 cup of Taco Bell chipotle sauce (more or less—your call)
04 -
1/2 cup cool sour cream
05 -
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack
06 -
1 cup shredded cheddar
07 -
2 cups frozen tater tots
08 -
1 pound ground beef (or swap with turkey or plant-based if you want)
→ Optional Toppings
09 -
Fresh cilantro leaves
10 -
Chopped green onions
11 -
Chopped tomatoes
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Once they're out and looking delicious, scatter on cilantro, chopped tomatoes, and green onions if you're going for it. Slide some extra sour cream and chipotle sauce on the table for dunking. Hand 'em out with a smile while they're still warm.
02 -
Place those burritos in a big dish, layer on more cheese (there's never enough), and toss them into the oven just until the cheese bubbles up.
03 -
Fold the sides over your filling, pull up the bottom, and keep rolling tight so everything stays where it should. No loose ends!
04 -
Stack the cheesy-potato-meaty goodness down the middle of each tortilla. Drizzle on as much chipotle sauce as you want, then add a spoon of that cool sour cream.
05 -
Hit the tortillas with a quick microwave or a toss in a dry pan—only takes a few seconds. You want them soft and stretchy so nothing tears on you.
06 -
Grab a big bowl. Toss in the cooked beef, break up those crispy tots into little bits, and throw in Monterey Jack and cheddar. Give it a good stir until it's all blended.
07 -
As tots bake, cook up the ground beef in a skillet. Sprinkle salt and pepper until it tastes just right. When there's no pink left, drain the grease from the pan.
08 -
Preheat your oven and follow the tater tot bag instructions. Let them get super golden and crunchy, so the inside has a big crunch factor.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
Toss in chopped jalapeños with the filling if you want things extra hot.
