BURROS

Method

BURROS

  1. 1

    Prepare ingredients: dice potatoes into 1/2-inch cubes, finely chop onion, and mince garlic.

  2. 2

    Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add potatoes, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and cook until they are tender and golden, about 15-18 minutes, turning occasionally.

  3. 3

    Stir in chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.

  4. 4

    Add ground cumin, chili powder, paprika (if using), and additional salt and pepper to taste. Stir to evenly coat the potatoes and onions, cooking 1-2 minutes until spices bloom.

  5. 5

    If using corn, add corn kernels and cook 2-3 minutes until heated through.

  6. 6

    Reduce heat to low and sprinkle 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese over the potato mixture. Stir until the cheese melts and is well combined with potatoes. Taste and adjust seasoning.

  7. 7

    Warm the burrito tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable, about 15-20 seconds per tortilla.

  8. 8

    To assemble, spoon a generous portion of the potato-cheese filling onto the center of each tortilla. Sprinkle 1/2 cup extra cheese over the filling if desired, then roll tightly into burritos.

  9. 9

    Optional: Place the filled burritos seam-side down in a skillet over medium heat to toast and melt the cheese further, about 1-2 minutes per side.

  10. 10

    Cut burritos in half if desired and sprinkle with chopped cilantro for garnish.

  11. 11

    Serve immediately with additional cilantro on top. Enjoy.
