Recipe: Crunchy Potato Burritos

Tweet Share

In Highschool I worked for a fast food Mexican restaurant, Taco Bueno. Where I'm from there are quite a few tex/mex fast food joints but "Bueno" is the best and most authentic tasting. Working behind the scenes I got to see why. Aside from the condiments the meat, beans, chips,were all made fresh every morning. Good thing I was athletic back then because I♥LOVED♥the Food! I don't know why I never thought to do this before but as I was making lunch it hit me.
Crunchy Potato Burrito... Bueno makes it with a fried potato cake, queso, sour cream, lettuce, choice of beef or chicken. Here's my version.

Ingredients:                     Steamed Tortillas

The kind of tortillas you use really doesn't matter.
The key is how you prepare them. Steaming them makes them have a stretchy texture.
You can control that with the length of time you steam them.

Hash Browns
I had the Ore-Ida Shredded Potatoes

Ground Turkey

Spinach
Any leafy green would do.

Sour Cream
The real kind. I don't understand fat free 'Cream'.
What sort of fillers are they putting in there?

Simply: Season and Brown the turkey. While that's cooking prepare tortillas. I have a collapsible steaming basket that I place in my skillet. With inch of water in the bottom, cover the pan set heat to High. As the water boils place 1-3 tortillas in the basket. This will depend on the tortilla size. Prepare your hash browns according to the brand. Basically fried with a bit of peanut oil until golden crispy.

Ready to eat: For each burrito spread on the sour cream in a center line. Then add the hash browns. Sprinkle on the spinach and meat. Wrap and Done!

I feel weird posting this without pictures. Tsk, tsk. My camera and hard drive are super full. I usually use my phone as back up but it's M.I.A. However I'm happy to be putting together a recipe tute. Enjoy!
