Instructions:
- Cook the bacon:
In a skillet over medium heat, cook chopped bacon until crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels, leaving about 1 tablespoon of bacon grease in the skillet.
- Sauté the potatoes:
Add diced potatoes to the skillet with bacon grease. Cook for 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and tender. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
- Scramble the eggs:
In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, and a pinch of salt. Melt butter in a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Pour in the eggs and gently scramble until just set.
- Assemble the burritos:
Warm the tortillas to make them more flexible. Evenly distribute eggs, potatoes, bacon, and cheddar cheese across the center of each tortilla.
- Wrap and toast:
Fold in the sides, roll tightly, and place seam-side down in a dry skillet. Toast for 1–2 minutes per side until lightly golden.
- Serve:
Slice in half and serve immediately, or wrap in foil for an on-the-go breakfast.
Variations:
- Substitute sausage or diced ham for the bacon.
- Add sautéed bell peppers, onions, or spinach for extra veggies.
- Use pepper jack or Swiss instead of cheddar for a different cheese profile.
Tips:
- For make-ahead convenience, wrap the burritos in foil and refrigerate for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat in a skillet or microwave.
- If using frozen potatoes (like hash browns), reduce cooking time accordingly.
- Customize each burrito with different sauces or spreads before rolling, such as chipotle mayo or avocado mash.
