Preheat your oven to the temperature specified on your frozen tater tots package, typically around 400°F (200°C). Spread the tater tots evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake according to the package instructions until golden brown and crispy, usually about 20–25 minutes, stirring halfway for even crispiness.

While the tater tots are baking, in a large skillet over medium heat, add your choice of ground beef, turkey, or plant-based alternative. Season with salt and pepper. Sauté for about 7–10 minutes, breaking it apart until no longer pink. Drain excess grease.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the browned meat and slightly crushed crispy tater tots. Sprinkle in a generous amount of shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese, mixing until everything is thoroughly coated.

Warm your flour tortillas to make them pliable, either in a dry skillet over low heat for about 1 minute on each side or quickly microwave wrapped in a damp paper towel for about 20 seconds.

Place a generous scoop of the filling mixture in the center of each warmed tortilla. Drizzle with chipotle sauce and add a dollop of sour cream. Fold the sides over the filling, then roll tightly from the bottom up.

Transfer the assembled burritos seam-side down into a baking dish. If desired, sprinkle additional cheese on top. Bake in the oven for about 15–20 minutes or until cheese is melted and tops are bubbly.

Allow the burritos to cool for a couple of minutes. Garnish with diced tomatoes, sliced green onions, and fresh cilantro. Cut in half if desired and serve warm.
