Instructions
- In a large skillet, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the bacon from the skillet and drain on paper towels, reserving about 1 tablespoon of the bacon grease in the skillet.
- In the same skillet, add the diced potatoes and cook for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden and crispy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the potatoes. Cook until the onion is translucent and softened, about 3-4 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. Pour the eggs into the skillet with the potato mixture. Stir gently until the eggs are scrambled and fully cooked, about 3-4 minutes.
- Crumble the cooked bacon and stir it into the egg and potato mixture. Add the shredded cheddar cheese and stir until melted and fully combined.
- Warm the flour tortillas in the microwave for about 10 seconds to make them pliable.
- Spoon an equal amount of the bacon, potato, and egg mixture onto the center of each tortilla. Fold in the sides and roll up the burrito tightly.
- Serve the breakfast burritos warm with your favorite salsa and a dash of hot sauce for an added kick.
Tips
- For a healthier version, consider using turkey bacon or swapping out half of the potatoes for sautéed spinach.
- Add diced bell peppers or jalapeños for an extra flavor kick.
- For a creamy touch, include a dollop of sour cream inside the burrito before rolling it up.
