# Ingredient List:

→ 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 (100 g)
07 - 2 tablespoons milk

→ Tortillas

08 - 4 large flour tortillas (10 inch)

→ 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 Steps:

01 - Fry bacon or breakfast sausage in a skillet over medium heat until browned and fully cooked. Remove and drain on paper towels, then chop into bite-sized pieces.
02 - In the same skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add diced potatoes, onion, and bell pepper along with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika if using. Sauté for about 10 minutes until vegetables are golden and tender. Set aside.
03 - Whisk eggs with milk, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Heat remaining oil in a non-stick pan, pour in the egg mixture, and gently scramble until just set.
04 - Warm flour tortillas in a dry pan or microwave for 20 seconds to increase pliability.
05 - Distribute a quarter portion of potatoes, scrambled eggs, meat, and shredded cheddar cheese onto the center of each tortilla.
06 - Fold the sides of each tortilla towards the center and roll tightly to enclose the filling.
07 - Place burritos seam-side down in a dry skillet and grill for 2 minutes to seal and crisp the exterior.
08 - Serve the burritos hot, accompanied by salsa or hot sauce as desired.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • It's genuinely foolproof, even if you've never wrapped anything in your life.
  • You can prep everything ahead and freeze them, which means a hot breakfast even on mornings when you're running late.
  • The combinations are endless, so it never gets boring no matter how often you make it.
02 -
  • Don't scramble your eggs on high heat or they'll go from creamy to rubbery in about 10 seconds. Medium-low and patience is the real secret.
  • If you're going to crisp the burrito on the skillet, make sure the seam is sealed tight or it'll unravel and your beautiful breakfast becomes breakfast confetti.
03 -
  • Cook your vegetables until they're golden and slightly caramelized, not just soft, because that sweetness and color makes the whole thing taste better.
  • Use a non-stick pan for your eggs and keep the heat moderate, because the moment you rush scrambled eggs they become disappointingly rubbery.
