Ingredients
1 lb ground beef
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 cups cooked tater tots
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 packet taco seasoning
4 large flour tortillas
1/2 cup cheese sauce, warmed
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley or cilantro (optional)
Instructions
1. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and onions until browned and tender. Drain excess grease.
2. Add taco seasoning and a splash of water to the beef. Simmer for a few minutes to combine flavors.
3. Prepare tater tots according to package instructions or air-fry until golden and crisp.
4. Warm tortillas in a skillet or microwave until soft and pliable.
5. Assemble burritos: layer beef, tater tots, cheddar cheese, and a drizzle of cheese sauce on each tortilla.
6. Roll burritos tightly and grill seam-side down in a hot skillet for 1-2 minutes per side until golden.
7. Serve hot, sliced in half, with optional parsley or cilantro garnish.
Notes
For the crispiest result, air-fry your tater tots instead of baking them.
Use freshly grated cheddar for best melt and flavor.
Don’t overfill the burritos—this helps them seal and crisp up evenly when grilled.
