Burros

Method

Burros

  1. 1

    Prep the fillings

    Rinse and dice the potatoes into about 1/2 inch cubes. Dice the onion and bell pepper. Mince the garlic. Set everything aside.

  2. 2

    Sauté aromatics

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and bell pepper; sauté until softened, about 4-5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more.

  3. 3

    Season and cook potatoes

    Add potatoes to the skillet. Sprinkle with smoked paprika, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are fork-tender and lightly browned, 12-15 minutes.

  4. 4

    Warm tortillas

    Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat until pliable, about 20-30 seconds per side, or wrap in a clean towel and microwave 15-20 seconds.

  5. 5

    Assemble burritos

    Spread a thin layer of sour cream down each tortilla. Spoon in a portion of the potato filling, then top with shredded cheese, avocado slices, and chopped cilantro. Drizzle lime juice over the filling and add salsa to taste.

  6. 6

    Finish and serve

    Roll each tortilla into a burrito, tucking in the ends. Optional: toast the seam side down in a skillet for 1-2 minutes to seal. Slice in half and serve with extra salsa and cilantro.
