Ingredients
Scale
Egg and Cheese Filling
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
Potatoes and Chicken Bacon
- 4 strips of chicken bacon
- 2 cups frozen hash brown potatoes
Burrito and Cooking
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Optional Toppings
- Salsa (optional)
- Sour cream (optional)
Instructions
- Cook Chicken Bacon: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the chicken bacon strips until they are crispy. Remove them from the skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess fat. Then crumble the chicken bacon and set aside.
- Cook Hash Browns: Using the same skillet, add the frozen hash brown potatoes and cook according to package instructions or until they become golden brown and crispy. Remove from skillet and set aside.
- Scramble Eggs: Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk them thoroughly. Melt butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat, pour in the eggs, and stir occasionally. Cook until eggs are just set, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Warm Tortillas: Warm the flour tortillas in a microwave for about 20 seconds or briefly heat them in a dry skillet over medium heat to make them pliable for wrapping.
- Assemble Burritos: Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Add ¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese in the center, then ¼ of the scrambled eggs, ¼ cup crispy hash brown potatoes, and 1 crumbled strip of chicken bacon on top.
- Roll Burritos: Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll from the bottom up, ensuring the fillings are tightly packed. Repeat with remaining tortillas and fillings.
- Pan-Fry Burritos: Heat vegetable oil in a clean skillet over medium heat. Place burritos seam-side down in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side or until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Serve: Serve the burritos hot with optional salsa and sour cream on the side for dipping.
Notes
- You can substitute chicken bacon with regular bacon or turkey bacon if preferred.
- For extra flavor, consider adding diced onions or peppers to the scrambled eggs.
- Use whole wheat tortillas for a healthier option.
- Make sure not to overcook the eggs, keeping them soft and moist enhances texture.
- If you prefer a spicier burrito, add hot sauce or jalapeños to the filling.
