Grilled Beef and Potato Burritos

Whenever a restaurant gets rid of one of my favorite menu items, I just recreate it at home. Thankfully this one is incredibly simple!

What You Will Need

Potatoes, beef, taco seasoning, tortillas, sour cream, and nacho cheese are the only ingredients you need for this easy recipe. You will need pans or skillets to cook the beef and potatoes in and a grill or grill pan to grill the burritos on.

Step by Step Instructions

First, peel and dice the potatoes. Heat skillet on the stovetop on medium low heat and add a spoonful of butter to skillet to melt. Put diced potatoes in a mixing bowl and pour in a couple tablespoons of olive oil and stir until the potatoes are coated in the oil. Add diced potatoes into warm skillet making sure that the potatoes are in a single layer (not stacked on top of each other). Cook for about 15 minutes, stirring every 2 minutes, until potatoes are browned and cooked through.

Meanwhile, cook ground beef until no longer pink. Drain grease. When the beef and potatoes are both done cooking, combine them together and season with taco seasoning.
