Beef and potato burritos are a weekly staple here. My kids call them potatoritos. These easy beef and potato burritos with chipotle ranch are budget friendly, rivals fast food, cooks up in one pot, and kids love it!
Ingredients
Beef and Potato Burritos
- 1 lb Ground Beef browned
- 1 package Baby Yukon Gold Potatoes quartered
- 1 package Taco Seasoning
- 10 Burrito Tortillas
- 1 cup Water
- Chipotle Ranch Homemade or Store Bought
- 8 oz Monterey Jack Cheese Shredded
- 1 Lime Quartered
Chipotle Ranch
- Homemade Buttermilk Ranch (link below)
- 1 tbsp Chipotles in Adobo Sauce (just the sauce)
- ¼ Lime just the juice
Instructions
- First, begin by prepping your potatoes and cheese. Shred your cheese and quarter your potatoes. You could always use cheese that is already shredded but I like to shred the cheese myself because it melts to much better.
- Then, add your ground beef to a pan with a bit of oil and begin browning your meat.
- Next, once your meat is completely cooked, add your potatoes to a pan along with about a cup of water and your taco seasoning. Stir everything together and place a lid on the pan. Over medium heat, allow your potatoes to cook all the way through, checking on them frequently to ensure the potatoes are not sticking to the bottom of your pan. If they are taking a little longer to cook, just turn your heat down to medium low and place the lid back on the pan.
- Finally, check your potatoes with a fork to ensure they are cooked all the way through. You may have to check a couple of potatoes. Once the potatoes are completely cooked, squeeze a quarter of a lime over the pan.
- Additionally, using our super easy and delicious homemade buttermilk ranch, squeeze a quarter of a lime and a few tablespoons of adobo sauce into the ranch and stir well. Alternatively, you could always grab a bottle of chipotle ranch from the store if you don't already have homemade ranch prepared in your fridge. It is still just as delicious!
- Now it is time to plate everything up! Grab your tortilla, add a bit of cheese on the bottom. Then, add the beef and potato mixture on top of the cheese. Finally, add your chipotle ranch and wrap your tortilla into a burrito and enjoy!
Notes
Tips
- If the potatoes haven't cooked all the way, just add a bit of water and place your lid back on the pan and cook a few more minutes. The little yukon potatoes cook relatively fast but some stoves cook a little different.
- Use any cheese you like!
