Fried Potato Burritos Recipes

POTATO BURRITOS

Steps:

• Slowly cook the onions in 3 T of oil on medium-low heat until they are soft and brown, about 20 minutes.
• Microwave the potatoes on high for 2 minutes to soften.
• Heat the remaining 3 T of oil over medium-high heat. Cook the potatoes in batches so they are in a single layer, about 10 minutes each, or until they are slightly browned, flipping frequently. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Put slices of cheese on a tortilla and microwave for 20 seconds, or until cheese is melted. Top with 1/4 of the onions, potatoes, salsa, and ranch dressing. Add guacamole and/or sour cream if desired. Roll up into a burrito and enjoy. Repeat for other tortillas. But don't eat them all yourself; you'll die. A good death, but still death. Suit yourself. What do I know.

FRIED POTATO BURRITOS

Steps:

• Peel, wash and slice your potatoes as you do for fried potatoes. Put enough oil into your skillet to fry your potatoes. Put your stove on medium heat. When oil is hot, put your potatoes in the skillet and fry on one side until golden brown and crusty. While it is cooking, chop an onion. Turn over the potatoes on other side.
• When potatoes are golden brown, put onion on top then salt and pepper to your tasting and cover the skillet with a lid until potatoes are golden and done on both sides. Turn off skillet.
• Heat up tortillas. Drain grease and put a serving of potatoes on tortillas, sprinkle crush red pepper on them and then roll them up. They are delicious. Serve while they are hot.

CHORIZO-POTATO BREAKFAST BURRITOS

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chorizo and cook, breaking it up into small pieces, until cooked through and crisp, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate using a slotted spoon. Add the hash browns to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are golden brown and crisp, 8 to 10 minutes. Beat together the eggs, a pinch of salt, a few grinds of pepper and a few dashes of hot sauce in a medium bowl until well blended. Return the chorizo to the pan and pour the eggs over the potatoes and chorizo and cook, stirring, until the eggs are fluffy and just set, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the cilantro.
• Working with one tortilla at a time, warm in a large nonstick skillet set over medium heat until pliable. Top with one-quarter of the avocado and egg mixture, 1 tablespoon of the pico de gallo and 2 tablespoons of the cheese. Fold in the two sides and roll up tightly from the bottom to the top. Repeat with remaining tortillas and burrito fillings. Serve with the remaining pico de gallo on the side.

SIMPLY POTATO AND PINTO BEAN BURRITOS

Steps:

• 1. Wrap tortillas in aluminum foil and place them in a 350 degree oven.
• 2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the chili powder directly to the oil and stir quickly.
• 3. Immediately add Simply Potatoes Diced Potatoes with Onion and pinto beans, quickly stirring to distribute as evenly as possible. Reduce the heat to medium.
• 4. Allow the potatoes and beans to cook undisturbed for 3-4 minutes, until the potatoes and beans have become crisp and brown on the bottom. You may need to turn down the heat up or down a little to keep the sizzling sound but prevent burning. Just use your nose!
• 5. When you can see good color developing on the bottom, use a metal spatula to flip the potatoes and beans, one square at a time. (If you notice that all of the oil has already been absorbed, you may need to add a little more oil under each square of filling.).
• 6. Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top of the filling and cover the skillet loosely with aluminum foil or a cookie sheet. Allow the cheese to melt and the underside to brown.
• 7. Add one scoop of filling to each warmed tortilla. Serve as-is or top with any of your favorite tex-mex toppings. (Sour cream, guacamole, salsa, and green onions all work well.).

FRIED BURRITOS

Steps:

• Brown beef with taco seasoning. DO NOT add water to the seasoning as directed on the packet, as we have found this makes the filling much too runny.
• Drain meat.
• Mash beans or process in food processor. I sometimes remove a few of the jalapenos, but this is up to you.
• Stir together beans and seasoned beef. Stir in cheese. One lady I know uses 1 cup, while we sometimes leave it out altogether. This, again, is personal preference.
• Spoon filling into tortillas. We prefer "soft taco" sized tortillas, which will make about 7 burritos. Smaller sizes make them difficult to seal, while larger sizes tend to be "too much" for us, but they may be perfect for you! Be sure to fold in both end of the tortilla; seal shut with toothpicks.
• Heat about 3/4" cooking oil in a pan. When hot, add 2-3 burritos. When the bottom turns a deep gold, after about 3 minutes, flip over and brown other side.
• Drain on a wire rack over a paper-lined plate.
