  4. In a mixing bowl, combine the browned meat, crushed tater tots, and both cheeses until well-mixed.
  5. Warm the flour tortillas briefly in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds to make them pliable.

  8. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
