A breakfast burrito is the most portable hot breakfast there is. Soft scrambled eggs, crisp potatoes, melty cheese, and a little salsa, all wrapped up so you can eat it on the move.

The real trick is batch cooking. Roll a few at once, wrap them in foil, and stash them in the freezer for mornings when there is no time to cook.

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Cook the potatoes in a skillet with 1 tbsp butter over medium-high heat until golden and crisp, then season with salt and set aside.
  2. Beat the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper.
  3. Melt the remaining butter in the pan over medium-low heat and scramble the eggs softly until just set.
  4. Warm the tortillas in a dry pan or microwave so they fold without cracking.
  5. Layer eggs, potatoes, cheese, and a spoonful of salsa down the center of each tortilla.
  6. Fold in the sides, then roll up tightly from the bottom.
  7. For a crisp finish, toast the seam-side down in a dry pan for a minute.

Equipment

Tips

  • Do not overfill; a packed burrito will not roll closed and spills as you eat.
  • Toasting the seam side down seals the wrap so it holds together.
  • These freeze well wrapped in foil; reheat in the microwave for a two-minute breakfast.
