Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Spread tater tots in a single layer on the baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
  3. While baking, heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the ground beef, seasoning with salt and pepper for 8-10 minutes.
  4. In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked meat with crushed tater tots and both cheeses, stirring until blended.
  5. Warm tortillas in a skillet or microwave for 15-30 seconds per side to make them pliable.
  6. On a warm tortilla, place a scoop of the filling mixture, chipotle sauce, and sour cream, then roll tightly.
  7. Place rolled burritos seam-side down in a greased baking dish and sprinkle remaining cheese on top.
  8. Bake burritos at 425°F (220°C) for 10-15 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden.
