Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Spread the frozen tater tots on a baking sheet in a single layer and bake according to package instructions (20–25 minutes) until golden brown and crispy.
  2. While the tater tots are baking, heat a skillet over medium heat and add the ground beef. Cook for about 6-8 minutes until browned and no longer pink, seasoning with salt and pepper.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked ground beef, baked tater tots, shredded cheddar cheese, and Monterey Jack cheese. Stir gently for about 1-2 minutes until mixed and coated.
  4. Warm your tortillas in a dry skillet over low heat for about 30 seconds on each side, or microwave for about 10-15 seconds until soft and pliable.
  5. Place a generous portion of filling (about 1 cup) in the center of each tortilla. Drizzle with chipotle sauce and a dollop of sour cream. Fold in the sides and roll tightly.
  6. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and arrange the assembled burritos in a baking dish. Sprinkle extra shredded cheese on top and bake for about 15-20 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  7. Garnish with optional toppings like diced tomatoes, chopped green onions, and fresh cilantro. Serve hot.
