Breakfast Burrito with Eggs and Potatoes (Printable version)

Hearty tortilla wraps filled with scrambled eggs, golden potatoes, melted cheese, and savory breakfast meat.

# Ingredients 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 inches)

→ 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)

# Steps:

01 - Cook bacon or sausage in a skillet over medium heat until browned and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels. 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, about 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.
04 - Warm 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. Fold in the sides and roll up tightly to form burritos.
06 - For crispy burritos, grill seam-side down in a dry skillet for 2 minutes to seal. Serve hot with salsa or hot sauce if desired.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • Everything comes together in one pan, meaning less cleanup and more time to enjoy your coffee while it cooks
  • These burritos freeze beautifully, so you can meal prep breakfast for the entire week in just 35 minutes
02 -
  • Dont overstuff the tortillas or they will burst during rolling or reheating, leaving you with a mess instead of a meal
  • Warm tortillas are non-negotiable, cold ones crack immediately and create frustrating tears that ruin the burrito experience
03 -
  • Pre-cook your bacon or sausage the night before and store it in the refrigerator to cut down on morning prep time
  • Use a cast iron skillet for the vegetables to develop those crispy, golden edges that restaurant burritos always seem to have
