Description

These hearty Classic Breakfast Burritos are loaded with fluffy scrambled eggs, crispy bacon, melty cheese, and golden potatoes, all wrapped in a warm tortilla. Perfect for busy mornings or make-ahead meal prep.


Ingredients

Eggs:

  • 6 large eggs

Milk Mixture:

  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Bacon:

  • 6 slices bacon (or sausage, diced)

Cheese:

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Potatoes:

  • 2 medium potatoes, diced and pan-fried (or 1 1/2 cups frozen hash browns)

Onion (optional):

  • 1/4 cup chopped onion

Tortillas:

  • 6 large flour tortillas

Butter/Oil:

  • 2 tablespoons butter or oil for cooking


Instructions

  1. Cook Bacon: In a skillet, cook bacon until crisp. Remove and set aside. Drain most of the grease.
  2. Cook Potatoes: Add diced potatoes (or hash browns) to the pan and cook until golden and tender. Remove and set aside.
  3. Prepare Eggs: In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Melt butter in the pan, pour in eggs, and scramble until fluffy.
  4. Warm Tortillas: Warm tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave.
  5. Assemble Burritos: Layer potatoes, eggs, bacon, and cheese onto each tortilla. Fold in the sides, then roll tightly into a burrito.
  6. Serve: Serve immediately, or wrap in foil/plastic for storage.

Notes

  • Make-ahead: Wrap burritos in foil and refrigerate for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat in oven or microwave.
  • Variations: Try sausage, ham, or a veggie-only version.
  • Toppings: Add salsa, hot sauce, avocado, or sour cream for extra flavor.
