Serves 4
Ingredients
1 1/2 pounds potatoes, peeled and diced
1 onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and pepper, to taste
8-10 corn tortillas
Instructions
1.
Boil the diced potatoes in salted water until tender, about 5-7 minutes. Drain and set aside.
2.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
3.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional minute, until fragrant.
4.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked potatoes, onion mixture, and shredded cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
5.
Warm the tortillas by wrapping them in a damp paper towel and microwaving for 20-30 seconds. Assemble the burritos by spooning the potato mixture onto the center of a tortilla, and topping with additional cheese if desired.
Storage Tip: Store leftover burritos in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven until crispy and hot.
