# Ingredients:

→ Potatoes

01 - 1 teaspoon paprika
02 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
03 - 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
04 - 1 teaspoon salt
05 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
06 - 3 large russet potatoes, peeled and diced

→ Beef Filling

07 - 1 tablespoon minced garlic
08 - 0.5 cup water
09 - 1 teaspoon paprika
10 - 1 teaspoon dried cilantro
11 - 1 teaspoon ground cumin
12 - 2 teaspoons chili powder
13 - 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
14 - 0.5 teaspoon salt
15 - 1 pound ground beef

→ Burrito Assembly

16 - 0.5 cup taco sauce
17 - 5 large flour tortillas (for burritos)
18 - 1 cup nacho cheese sauce

# Instructions:

01 - Chop up your potatoes into little cubes after peeling and washing. In a great big bowl, toss them with paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, salt, and then add the olive oil. Give it all a good mix.
02 - Toss the seasoned potatoes right into your air fryer basket. Crank up the setting to 400°F. Let them cook for about 25 minutes, take a moment a couple of times to shake the basket and make sure those cubes get crisp all over.
03 - Get your skillet nice and hot over medium-high heat. Throw in the ground beef and break it up as it cooks. Sprinkle in salt, black pepper, chili powder, cumin, dried cilantro, paprika, and minced garlic along the way. When it's browned and no pink’s left, get rid of the extra fat. Splash in the water and let it bubble for a few minutes so everything blends in.
04 - Turn the burner down to the lowest setting and let the beef hang out in the pan. It'll stay hot while your potatoes get nice and roasted.
05 - Lay out a tortilla on your counter. Smear some nacho cheese in the middle, drop in some beef, splash on a bit of taco sauce, pile on the crispy potatoes, and add more nacho cheese if that's your thing. Tuck in the sides and roll it right up.
06 - Pop the rolled burritos, seam down, into a clean skillet over medium-high. Toast both sides a couple minutes each, flipping until they're golden and heated all through.

# Notes:

01 - If you want your burritos extra crunchy, don't overstuff them so you can seal and brown them up easier in the pan.
