  • 1 lb Seasoned ground beef Cooked and seasoned, use 80/20 or 85/15 lean-to-fat ratio
  • 2 cups Shredded sharp cheddar cheese Grate from a block for better melt
  • 4 large Flour tortillas 10–12 inch size preferred for easy rolling

Preparation

  • Step 1: Cook the tater tots according to package instructions until deep golden and crisp.
  • Step 2: In a skillet, heat the seasoned beef over medium-high heat until fully cooked.
  • Step 3: Warm the tortillas on a grill or in a pan for 10–20 seconds per side.

Assembly and Cooking

  • Step 4: Fill each tortilla with crispy tater tots, seasoned beef, and shredded cheddar cheese, leaving space at the edges.
  • Step 5: Roll up the tortillas securely to form burritos.
