Hearty Breakfast Burrito (Printable)

Warm tortilla filled with scrambled eggs, crispy potatoes, and melted cheese

# Ingredient List:

→ Proteins

01 - 4 large eggs
02 - 4 slices bacon or 4 breakfast sausages

→ Vegetables

03 - 2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
04 - 1 small onion, finely chopped
05 - 1 small bell pepper, diced

→ Dairy

06 - 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
07 - 2 tablespoons milk

→ Tortillas

08 - 4 large flour tortillas (10 inch)

→ Spices & Oils

09 - 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
10 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
11 - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
12 - 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)

# How-to Steps:

01 - Cook the bacon or sausage in a skillet over medium heat until browned and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels, then chop into bite-sized pieces.
02 - In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon oil. Sauté potatoes, onion, and bell pepper with salt, pepper, and paprika if using until golden and tender, about 10 minutes. Set aside.
03 - In a bowl, whisk eggs with milk, salt, and pepper. Heat remaining oil in a non-stick pan, pour in the eggs, and gently scramble until just set.
04 - Warm the tortillas in a dry pan or microwave for 20 seconds until pliable.
05 - Place a quarter of the potatoes, eggs, bacon or sausage, and cheese in the center of each tortilla.
06 - Fold in the sides and roll up tightly to form secure burritos.
07 - For a crispy exterior, grill burritos seam-side down in a dry skillet for 2 minutes to seal.
08 - Serve hot, with salsa or hot sauce if desired.

# Expert Hints:

01 -
  • Everything cooks in one skillet so cleanup is minimal
  • You can customize the fillings based on what everyone actually likes
  • These reheat beautifully for grab-and-go breakfasts all week long
02 -
  • Cold tortillas will crack when you try to fold them so always warm them first
  • Do not overcook your eggs because they will continue cooking slightly from the residual heat
  • Let the filling cool slightly before rolling or your tortilla will get soggy and tear
03 -
  • Grate your own cheese instead of buying pre-shredded for better melting
  • Pat your diced potatoes dry before cooking for extra crispy results
