Ingredient Notes

• Hash Browns – I used frozen hash browns, but you can use potatoes, just cut them in small pieces. If you’re using fresh potatoes, they will take a bit longer to cook.
• Bacon – Chopped into small slices. I prefer a thick cut bacon, but use your favorite.
• Eggs – Aim for large eggs and look for pasture raised as well.
• Tortillas – You’ll want large flour tortillas for easy wrapping. Use your favorite or make your own with my flour tortillas recipe!
• Cheese – I added a mix of Monterey Jack and Mozzarella shredded cheese.
• Oil – Work with a high-temp oil such as olive oil, safflower, sunflower or avocado oil.
• Tomatoes – Medium Roma tomatoes, diced into small cubes.
• Parsley – Freshly chopped.
• Milk – To make your scrambled eggs creamier. You can use any regular milk or if you’re aiming for less far, you can use almond milk instead.
• Butter – Salted or unsalted butter works.

How To Make Breakfast Burritos

1. Cook the bacon: In a large skillet cook the bacon over medium heat, until crispy, about 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
2. Cook the hash browns: In the same skillet using the bacon fat, cook the hash browns until golden brown, about 5 minutes.
3. Cook the eggs: In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs, with the milk, salt and pepper together. To the same skillet, melt the butter then add the egg mixture and scramble until the eggs are just cooked through. Use a rubber spatula to stir the eggs until soft curds form.
4. Assemble burritos: In the center of each tortilla, layer with hash browns, scrambled eggs, Monterey jack cheese, mozzarella cheese, cooked bacon, some diced tomato and a bit of chopped parsley. Fold in the two sides and roll up tightly.
5. Brown the burritos: Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place the burritos in the skillet seam side down. Cook on all sides until the golden brown, about 3 min per side.
6. Serve: Serve hot with hot sauce or salsa.

Expert Tips

1. You can use store bought tortillas or you can make them yourself, following my recipe for homemade Flour Tortillas. However, large flour tortillas are best since they’re big enough to wrap burrito style.
2. If you are looking to make a more healthier version of this, you can keep the bacon out or substitute it with shredded chicken for a different approach.
3. While the recipe includes milk, there are other ways to help your scrambled eggs get the texture you’re looking for. You can substitute the amount of regular milk with almond milk or water. Either one of these will help the eggs get creamier and blend well with the rest of your ingredients.
4. If making these as meal prep, you can freeze them before toasting them and and just toast them when you’re ready to serve them.
