1 red bell pepper, diced

1/2 red onion, diced
→ Assembly
10 -
1.5 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
11 -
8 large flour tortillas
# Instructions:
01 -
Place diced potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold, salted water. Bring to a boil and cook for 15–20 minutes until fork-tender. Drain thoroughly. Return the potatoes to the hot pot and mash with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.
02 -
While the potatoes cook, heat a skillet over medium heat. Sauté red onion and bell pepper for 4–5 minutes until softened. Add corn and black beans; stir and cook for 3 minutes until heated through.
03 -
Warm flour tortillas in a microwave or dry skillet briefly until pliable and easy to roll.
04 -
Lay a tortilla flat. Spread approximately 120 grams (about 1/2 cup) of mashed potatoes in a line down the center. Layer with a generous spoonful of the bean and vegetable mixture, then sprinkle with shredded cheddar. Fold in the short sides and roll up tightly from the bottom. Place seam-side down.
05 -
Preheat a clean, dry skillet over medium heat. Toast each burrito for 2–3 minutes per side until golden and crisp. Serve immediately with desired toppings such as salsa, guacamole, or sour cream.
# Notes:
01 -
For maximum crispiness, toast the burritos in a hot, dry skillet or on a griddle without pressing down. Avoid overfilling to ensure easy rolling and prevent bursting.
02 -
Enhance flavor by adding 1 teaspoon cumin and chili powder to the vegetables, or mix extra cheese into the potatoes for a richer filling.
03 -
These burritos are freezer-friendly; wrap individually and freeze up to 3 months. Reheat in the oven or air fryer for quick meals.
