Instructions

1- Preheat and Prep:

Preheat your air fryer or oven to 200°C/400°F.

2- Season Potatoes:

In a large bowl, mix the diced potatoes with olive oil, salt, Italian herbs seasoning, onion powder, garlic powder, chili powder, and smoked paprika until evenly coated.

3- Cook Potatoes:

Spread the seasoned potatoes on a baking sheet or in the air fryer basket.
Cook for 20-25 minutes if using an air fryer, or 30-35 minutes in the oven, turning halfway through to ensure even cooking, until golden brown and tender.

4- Sauté Onions:

While the potatoes are cooking, heat a large skillet over medium heat.
Sauté the diced onions until they become soft and translucent.

5- Cook Beef:

Add the extra lean beef mince to the skillet with the onions, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks.

6- Add Flavors:

Pour in the Worcestershire sauce and add the same seasoning mix used for the potatoes.
Stir well to incorporate the flavors.

7- Finish Beef Mixture:

Stir in the tomato paste and diced garlic, continuing to cook until the beef is fully cooked and no longer pink.

8- Prepare Eggs:

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and blended cottage cheese until smooth.

9- Cook Eggs:

Over low to medium heat, cook the egg mixture in a separate skillet, stirring gently every minute to create fluffy scrambled eggs.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.

10- Warm Tortillas:

Warm the tortillas by heating them briefly in a skillet or microwave.

11- Assemble Burritos:

To assemble the burritos, lay each tortilla flat and evenly distribute the scrambled eggs, beef mixture, and roasted potatoes in the center.

12- Add Toppings:

Drizzle the filling with sriracha mayonnaise and sprinkle with chopped chives.

13- Roll Burritos:

Roll each tortilla tightly, tucking in the sides as you go, to form a burrito.

14- Toast Burritos:

Toast the rolled burritos on a dry skillet for a few minutes on each side to achieve a golden crust.
