directions

  • Brown ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat breaking it into small pieces.
  • Drain potatoes and add to the ground beef and mix well.
  • Add the diced green chilies to the meat mixture and mix well.
  • Add spices to taste and continue to cook until meat is done.
  • Heat flour tortillas by placing them in the microwave for a few seconds until soft. Hint: to keep your tortillas from drying out, place a damp paper towel over the tortillas while heating in the microwave.
  • Place a portion of the meat mixture on a warm tortilla and add your favorite toppings. Roll up in a burrito style or fold like a soft taco and enjoy.

  1. These are very similar to burritos and tacos that I have made for years. I really enjoy the fact that there are so many options available with the toppings. This recipe was reduced to 2 servings and not having canned potatoes, I diced and cooked a small potato in water before adding to the pan with the meat. These were topped with shredded cheddar cheese and homemade salsa.
     
  2. Fun recipe! I added a can of rotel tomatoes, very good. Thanks
     
  3. So easy and quick to put together. My family really enjoyed these with the addition of their personalized choices of toppings. I thought the use of canned, diced potatoes was a super quick way to add another dimension to these burritos. I added just enough red pepper flakes to make them slightly spicy (about 1/4 t.).

I live in the great Southwest with warm (sometimes hot) days, cool evenings, and beautiful sunsets. I am married to my high school sweetheart. We have two wonderful sons who are now grown and out of the house and two wonderful grandchildren that are so much fun. I love to read, garden, and plan trips with my family and friends. <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/Adopted1smp.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/smPACp.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"> <img src="http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e347/Saturn6666/Other/tagforpage1.jpg"> <a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w115/bugh8er/holidaylinenswap07a.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a> <img src="http://www.recipezaar.com/members/home/1956/holidaylightssticker.jpg"> <img src="http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i25/bayhill/bswap11.jpg"> <img src="http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j10/housedaughter/cswap.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b367/chefpaulag/banners/PARTICIPANTValentineBanner.jpg?t=1203478805> <img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v204/derf16/food%20photography%20series/MuffinLovesticker.jpg"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/PAC08Main.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/Zaar%20World%20Tour%204/ZWTAB-tg.gif"> <img src="http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b280/carolinamoon21/Ingredients/FISHSEAFDSTICKER.jpg"> <a href="http://s80.photobucket.com/albums/j166/ZaarNicksMom/?action=view¤t=CookingSchoolHost1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j166/ZaarNicksMom/CookingSchoolHost1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e110/flower753/Food/my3chefsnov2008.jpg"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/PACfall08partic.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/IWasAdoptedfall08.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v726/annacia/Permanent%20Banners/i-connected-125.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><img src="http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r271/copperhorse58/Birthday%20and%20Celebration%20Images/spicesswap_amtag3.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Iwasadopted.jpg"> <img src="http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Participation.jpg"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b367/chefpaulag/final-1.jpg"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/participantbannerzwt5.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j166/ZaarNicksMom/Animation6.gif"><img src="http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j166/ZaarNicksMom/PACsticker-Adopted.jpg"> <img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b367/chefpaulag/vegetabel_soup_banner-1-1.jpg?t=1263826088> </a><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v726/annacia/Permanent%20Banners/snow-queens-sm.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>
