1. 1
   Prepare the roasted chiles: remove the stem and skin. Carefully open along one side and release the seeds, keeping the interior veins which contain the heat.
   ▶ ≈0:13
2. 2
   Stuff the cleaned chiles with cheese and roll them gently to seal, ensuring the cheese is evenly distributed inside.
   ▶ ≈1:00
3. 3
   Heat a cast iron pan on high heat for about 3 minutes until very hot and smoking. Add the ground beef and break it apart as it cooks.
   ▶ ≈2:29
4. 4
   Add minced garlic, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, smoked paprika, black pepper, chicken bouillon, and Mexican oregano. Mix thoroughly to season the beef evenly.
   ▶ ≈2:54
5. 5
   Push the cooked beef to one side of the pan. Add a bit more oil to the empty side and place pre-boiled potatoes there. Let sit undisturbed for 3 minutes to develop a crispy crust.
   ▶ ≈3:49
6. 6
   Season the potatoes with salt. Mix the beef and potatoes together, scraping up the flavorful browned bits from the pan bottom. Continue cooking on medium heat for 3-4 minutes until both have a nice crust.
   ▶ ≈4:18
7. 7
   Place the cheese-filled chiles on the pan with the opening facing down so the cheese crisps on the bottom. Cook on medium heat until the cheese melts and browns.
   ▶ ≈6:59
8. 8
   Warm the flour tortillas. Place a portion of the ground beef-potato mixture and a cheese-stuffed chile in the center of each tortilla. Roll tightly to enclose the filling.
