# Instructions:
01 -
Peel, wash, and cut the potatoes into 1 centimeter cubes. Toss the potatoes with olive oil, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder in a large mixing bowl.

Transfer the seasoned potatoes to the air fryer basket. Cook at 400°F (204°C) for 25 minutes, shaking the basket at least twice during the cooking process until golden and crisp.
03 -
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook, breaking up with a spatula. Season with salt, black pepper, chili powder, cumin, dried cilantro, and paprika. Stir in minced garlic. Once browned and cooked through, drain any excess fat, add water, and simmer for 2-3 minutes.
04 -
Reduce heat to low under the skillet and keep beef mixture warm while potatoes finish roasting.
05 -
Lay out each flour tortilla on a clean surface. Spread a portion of nacho cheese down the center, top with a scoop of cooked beef, a drizzle of taco sauce, a layer of roasted potatoes, and an extra spoonful of nacho cheese. Fold the sides and roll tightly to enclose the filling.

Place assembled burritos seam side down in a clean skillet over medium-high heat. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side or until each burrito is golden brown and warmed through on all sides.

For crispier burritos, avoid overfilling to ensure proper sealing and browning during toasting.
