Equipment
- Skillet
- Olive Oil
Ingredients
Ground Beef + Seasonings
- 1 lb Ground Beef
- 1/4 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1/4 tsp Onion Powder
- 1/2 tsp Creole seasoning
- 1/4 tsp Cumin
- Dash of Ground Red Pepper
- Salt + Pepper, to taste
- Fresh, Diced Onions, optional, to taste
- 1/2 tbsp Olive/ Cooking Oil
Hash Brown Seasonings
- 2 cups Frozen Southern Style (Diced) Hash Brown Potato's
- 2 tbsp Olive/ Cooking Oil, use more as needed
- 1/2 tsp Paprika
- 1/2 tsp Cajun
- 1/4 tsp Oregano
- 1/4 tsp Garlic Powder
- Fresh, Diced Onions, optional, to taste
- Salt + Pepper, to taste
Remaining Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Yellow Queso of Choice, to taste, use more as needed
- 1/2 cup Sour Cream, to taste
- 4 Large Flour Tortilla's
- 2 tbsp Butter
Instructions
- Start by prepping your skillet for the hash browns over medium-high heat and roughly 1-2 tbsp of your preferred cooking oil.
- Let that pan get hot while you season your ground beef (with 1/4 tsp Garlic Powder, 1/4 tsp Onion Powder, 1/2 tsp Creole, 1/4 tsp Cumin, a healthy dash of Ground Red Pepper, and Salt + Pepper to taste) in another skillet with a drizzle of oil. Cook over Medium-High heat until browned and drain.
- Once your potato skillet is hot, pour in your hash brown potato's and season (with 1/2 tsp Paprika, 1/2 tsp Cajun, 1/4 Oregano, 1/4 tsp Garlic Powder, Salt + Pepper to taste, and diced fresh onions - if you choose). Cook for about 10-15 minutes, until crisp - tossing occasionally.
- Once your beef & potato's are cooked, prep your tortillas by popping them in the microwave for 30 seconds on a microwave safe plate, covered by a damp towel. (This helps steam your tortillas so they more easily roll & fold). Heat a pat of butter on a clean skillet.
- Spread a healthy amount of sour cream on your tortillas, followed by beef, potatos and top with some of your queso (heat in the microwave for roughly 30 seconds before adding on) and roll, burrito style by tucking the edges in and place on your buttered pan. Lightly toast all sides of your burrito to help seal the burrito and add a bit of crispy crunch. Grab any sauces you may want for dipping and enjoy!
