How to Make a Potato Burrito Smothered With Cheese

I love Mexican food and Hacienda Restaurant is our favorite. Potato Burrito is one of the things I get when there. My recipe is slightly different than Hacienda' s but good. If you get to Hacienda you can try their version but until then try my potato burrito.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Flour tortilla shells
• Potatoes diced (red is best)
• 1 Onion diced
• 2 stalks of Celery diced
• 1 Green Pepper diced
• Black pepper
• Garlic powder
• Chili peppers like Pizza hut uses
• Nestle Trio Powder Cheese
• 1 Tablespoon Liquid Smoke
• 2 Tablespoons Bacon bits
• Tomatoes diced

1. 
    
   wash potatoes

   First wash your potatoes. I personally like the little red ones like Hacienda uses but this time of year I don't have any.

2. 
    
   Diced potatoes

   Dice your potatoes.

3. 
    
   Celery & peppers added

   Add Celery, green pepper and onion. Add black pepper, crushed chili peppers like Pizza Hut uses & a little garlic powder. Cook them until soft. It won't take long.
   
   *** add the amount of spice that suits your family

4. 
    
   Nestle Trio Cheese

   I buy Nestle Trio powder cheese. Make the amount you want according to the directions. Add liquid smoke and a few bacon bits for flavor. Set that aside keeping it warm.

5. 
    
   Potatoes on shell

   Drain the water off and put potatoes in a warmed flour shell and roll up.

6. 
    
   Yummy burrito

   Put the warm cheese mixture over your flour tortilla filled with potatoes. Put lots on that's the best way. And top with tomatoes.

7. Serve up with chips if you have them and enjoy.

Tips & Warnings

• I like fresh not frozen green peppers when I have them.
• I like fresh tomatoes not canned when in season.
• Keep cheese warm on a griddle or the dish floating in warm water.
• This is great for vegetarians as there is no meat in it.

on 3/23/2009 Looks good and you know how much I love Hacienda...for those who don't live in Northern Indiana, that is where Hacienda originated. It now goes down to Kokomo, IN. I am not sure if it is any farther.
