Ingredients

Scale

For the Filling:

  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk (or a dairy-free alternative like almond milk)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
  • 1 cup diced potatoes (or frozen hash browns for convenience)
  • 1/2 cup diced bell peppers (any color)
  • 1/2 cup diced onions
  • 1/2 cup cooked breakfast sausage, bacon, or ham (optional for a meat-free version)
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika (optional, for a smoky flavor)

For the Wrap:

  • 4 large flour tortillas (or whole wheat, gluten-free, or low-carb tortillas)
  • 1/4 cup salsa (optional, for serving)
  • 1/4 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt (optional, for serving)
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro or green onions (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

Step 1: Prep the Ingredients

  1. Dice the potatoes, bell peppers, and onions into small, even pieces.
  2. If using meat, cook the sausage, bacon, or ham according to package instructions and set aside.
  3. Crack the eggs into a bowl, add the milk, and whisk until well combined. Season with salt, pepper, and paprika.

Step 2: Cook the Potatoes

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add the diced potatoes and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and tender.
  3. Add the diced onions and bell peppers, cooking for an additional 3-4 minutes until softened.

Step 3: Scramble the Eggs

  1. Push the potato mixture to one side of the skillet.
  2. Pour the egg mixture into the empty side of the skillet.
  3. Gently scramble the eggs, stirring occasionally, until fully cooked.
  4. Combine the eggs with the potato mixture and stir in the cooked meat (if using).

Step 4: Assemble the Burritos

  1. Warm the tortillas in the microwave for 10-15 seconds or on a skillet for 30 seconds to make them pliable.
  2. Place a generous scoop of the filling in the center of each tortilla.
  3. Sprinkle shredded cheese on top of the filling.
  4. Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to create a burrito.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

  1. Serve the breakfast burritos immediately with salsa, sour cream, and fresh cilantro or green onions on the side.
  2. For a crispy exterior, heat a skillet over medium heat and lightly toast the burrito for 1-2 minutes on each side.
