Bacon, Egg & Cheese Breakfast Burrito

Instructions:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
