Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 8 large eggs
- 8 ounces (226 grams) frozen potatoes O’Brien (defrosted)
- 8 slices bacon
Cheese and Tortillas:
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) shredded cheese
- 6 large flour tortillas (warmed)
Instructions
- Prepare crispy bacon in a large skillet over medium heat for 6-8 minutes until perfectly golden. Transfer to paper towels, then crumble into bite-sized pieces once cooled.
- Use the same skillet to cook potatoes OBrien until they develop a crunchy, golden exterior. Ensure even heating and browning throughout.
- Whisk eggs thoroughly in a separate bowl, then transfer to a skillet. Cook over medium heat, gently stirring to create soft, fluffy scrambled eggs with a creamy texture.
- Warm flour tortillas briefly in microwave or on a dry skillet to enhance flexibility and prevent cracking during rolling.
- Construct each burrito by strategically layering scrambled eggs across the tortilla’s center, distributing crumbled bacon evenly for consistent flavor.
- Add cooked potatoes OBrien on top of the eggs, ensuring balanced distribution for each bite.
- Sprinkle shredded cheese generously, allowing it to slightly melt from the warm ingredients.
- Fold tortilla sides inward, then roll tightly from bottom to top, creating a compact, secure wrap.
- Serve immediately while ingredients remain warm, or wrap individually in foil for convenient transportation.
Notes
- Bacon Texture Hack: Opt for thick-cut bacon for extra crispiness and robust flavor that holds up well in the burrito.
- Potato Pro Tip: Pat potatoes dry before cooking to ensure maximum crispiness and prevent soggy results.
- Egg Fluffy Secret: Remove eggs from heat just before they look completely done to prevent overcooking and maintain creamy texture.
- Mobility Modification: Wrap burritos in parchment paper for easier handling and a clean, portable breakfast option.
