Breakfast Burrito with Eggs and Potatoes (Printable)

Hearty tortilla wrap with scrambled eggs, crispy potatoes, melted cheese, and bacon or sausage

# What You’ll Need:

→ 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)

# How-To:

01 - Cook the 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 - In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon oil. Sauté potatoes, onion, and bell pepper with salt, pepper, and paprika (if using) until golden and tender, about 10 minutes. Set aside.
03 - In a bowl, whisk eggs with milk, salt, and pepper. Heat remaining oil in a non-stick pan, pour in the eggs, and gently scramble until just set.
04 - Warm the tortillas in a dry pan or microwave for 20 seconds until pliable.
05 - Place a quarter of the potatoes, eggs, bacon or sausage, and cheese in the center of each tortilla. Fold in the sides and roll up tightly to form burritos.
06 - For a crispy exterior, grill burritos seam-side down in a dry skillet for 2 minutes to seal. Serve hot with salsa or hot sauce if desired.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Everything cooks in one skillet except the eggs, meaning minimal cleanup and maximum flavor
  • You can prep the components ahead and assemble burritos in under two minutes each
  • These freeze beautifully and taste just as good reheated for busy weekday breakfasts
02 -
  • Warm your tortillas before wrapping or they will crack and split open immediately
  • Dont over-scramble the eggs—wet-looking eggs will finish cooking from the heat of the other fillings
  • Let the filling cool slightly before assembling or your tortillas will get soggy and tear
03 -
  • Cook your potatoes in a single layer and don't stir too often so they develop a nice golden crust
  • Use a slotted spoon to transfer the potato mixture to the tortillas so excess oil doesn't make everything soggy
