  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 5 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 large russet potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 0.5 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried cilantro
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 0.5 cup taco sauce
  • 5 large flour tortillas
  • 1 cup nacho cheese sauce

Instructions

  1. Peel and wash the russet potatoes, then chop them into small cubes.
  2. In a large bowl, mix the potato cubes with paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, salt, and olive oil. Stir well to coat the potatoes.
  3. Place the seasoned potatoes in an air fryer basket and cook at 400°F for about 25 minutes, shaking the basket a couple of times while cooking.
  4. While the potatoes are cooking, heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add in the ground beef and break it apart as it cooks.
  5. Sprinkle in the salt, black pepper, chili powder, cumin, dried cilantro, paprika, and minced garlic. Cook until the beef is browned and no pink remains, then drain any excess fat.
  6. Add the water to the beef mixture and let it bubble for a few minutes to combine the flavors.
  7. Reduce the heat and keep the beef warm while the potatoes finish cooking.
  8. To assemble the burritos, lay a tortilla flat on your counter. Spread some nacho cheese in the center, add a scoop of beef, drizzle with taco sauce, pile on the crispy potatoes, and add more nacho cheese if desired.
  9. Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it tight to make a burrito.
  10. Toast the rolled burritos seam-side down in a skillet over medium-high heat until golden and heated through.

Notes

Feel free to customize with additional toppings like lettuce or tomatoes. Leftover roasted potatoes can be used for convenience.
