# What You Need:

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

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)

# Step-by-Step Guide:

01 - Cook 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 - Add 1 tablespoon oil to the same skillet. Sauté potatoes, onion, and bell pepper with salt, pepper, and paprika if using until golden and tender, approximately 10 minutes. Set aside.
03 - Whisk eggs with milk, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Heat remaining oil in a non-stick pan, pour in the eggs, and gently scramble until just set but still moist.
04 - Heat tortillas in a dry pan or microwave for 20 seconds until pliable.
05 - Place a quarter of the potatoes, eggs, meat, and cheese in the center of each tortilla.
06 - Fold in both sides and roll up tightly from bottom to top to form sealed burritos.
07 - For a crispy exterior, grill burritos seam-side down in a dry skillet for 2 minutes to seal and lightly brown.
08 - Serve hot with salsa or hot sauce if desired.

02 -
  • Never skip warming the tortillas first, cold tortillas will tear and ruin your morning
  • Do not overfill the burritos or they will burst open when you try to roll them
  • The potatoes need to be diced small and uniform or they will not cook evenly
03 -
  • Grate your own cheese instead of buying pre-shredded, it melts so much better
  • Have all your fillings ready before you start heating the tortillas so you can work quickly
  • If the burrito feels too thick to roll, press down gently on the filling to compact it
