Arrange tater tots in a single layer on a baking tray and bake according to package instructions until golden and crisp.

While tater tots bake, cook ground beef in a skillet over medium heat, breaking apart with a spatula. When browned, drain excess fat.

Spread a thin layer of chipotle sauce over each tortilla. Top with seasoned ground beef, baked tater tots, and a generous portion of cheese blend.
08 -
Fold in the sides and roll up each tortilla tightly from the bottom, enclosing the filling.

Place rolled burritos on a baking sheet and bake for 5–10 minutes, or until cheese melts and the tortillas are slightly crisp.

Serve burritos hot for optimal flavor and texture.
# Notes:
01 -
Broil tater tots briefly after baking for enhanced crispiness.
02 -
To prevent tortilla cracking, ensure they are thoroughly warmed before assembling.
03 -
Avoid overfilling burritos to achieve a secure, even roll.
04 -
For variety, consider adding beans or sautéed vegetables, or utilize plant-based proteins for a vegetarian version.
