Ingredients
- 2 large potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 flour tortillas
- 2 tbsp butter (for grilling)
Instructions
1️⃣ Cook the Potatoes and Onions
In a skillet over medium heat, heat olive oil. Add diced potatoes, onions, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are golden and fork-tender.
2️⃣ Add the Cheese
Remove skillet from heat and stir in shredded cheddar cheese. Mix until cheese is melted and evenly distributed.
3️⃣ Assemble the Wraps
Lay out the flour tortillas and divide the cheesy potato mixture evenly among them. Roll each tortilla into a snug wrap.
4️⃣ Grill the Wraps
In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Grill each wrap for 2–3 minutes per side, until golden and crisp.
5️⃣ Slice & Serve
Let cool slightly, then slice diagonally for easy serving. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
Tips for Success
- Dice the potatoes small for quicker, even cooking.
