Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 4 Large flour tortillas
- 1 15-ounce can Canned black beans
- 2 Avocado
- 1 Lime
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Pico de gallo
- 0.75 cup Sour cream
- 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
Peel and cut the potatoes into thin strips similar to French fries.
Toss the potato strips in a bowl with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika, ensuring they are well coated.
Spread the seasoned potatoes on a baking sheet in a single layer and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden and crispy, flipping halfway through.
While the potatoes are baking, rinse and drain the black beans. Set aside.
Cut the avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash the avocado with a fork and squeeze in the lime juice, mixing well.
Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side or until pliable and slightly toasted.
To assemble each burrito: Lay a warm tortilla flat and spread about 1 tablespoon of sour cream in the center.
Layer 1/4 of the roasted potatoes and 1/4 cup black beans on top of the sour cream.
Add several spoonfuls of mashed avocado and a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese.
Top with pico de gallo, a little fresh cilantro, and any additional toppings you prefer.
Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then tightly roll the burrito from the bottom up, ensuring none of the fillings escape.
Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
Serve immediately, optionally with a side of extra sour cream or salsa for dipping.
