Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground beef
- 2 cups frozen diced potatoes (or cooked and cubed)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup salsa

Directions:
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced potatoes and sauté until golden and tender, about 10 minutes. Remove and set aside.

- Add cooked potatoes back to the skillet, stir to combine, and cook for 2-3 minutes.
- Warm the flour tortillas in a microwave or skillet until pliable.
