Breakfast Burrito
A hearty wrap of fluffy eggs, crispy potatoes, cheese, and salsa. Make a batch and freeze them for fast mornings.
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
- 6 eggs
- 2 cups frozen diced potatoes or hash browns
- 1 cup shredded cheddar
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1/2 cup salsa
- 2 tbsp butter
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- 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.
- Beat the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Melt the remaining butter in the pan over medium-low heat and scramble the eggs softly until just set.
- Warm the tortillas in a dry pan or microwave so they fold without cracking.
- Layer eggs, potatoes, cheese, and a spoonful of salsa down the center of each tortilla.
- Fold in the sides, then roll up tightly from the bottom.
- For a crisp finish, toast the seam-side down in a dry pan for a minute.
Equipment
- Skillet
- Mixing bowl
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.
