Breakfast Burrito with Eggs (Printable)

Warm tortilla wraps filled with scrambled eggs, crispy potatoes, cheese, and bacon or sausage for a hearty, protein-packed start to your day.

# What You'll Need:

→ Proteins

01 - 4 large eggs
02 - 4 slices bacon or 4 breakfast sausages

→ Vegetables

03 - 2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced into 1/2-inch cubes
04 - 1 small onion, finely chopped
05 - 1 small bell pepper, diced

→ Dairy

06 - 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
07 - 2 tablespoons milk

→ Tortillas

08 - 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch diameter)

→ Spices & Oils

09 - 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
10 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
11 - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
12 - 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika

# How to Make It:

01 - Cook bacon or sausage in a skillet over medium heat until browned and cooked through. Remove from pan, drain on paper towels, and chop into bite-sized pieces.
02 - Heat 1 tablespoon oil in the same skillet. Add diced potatoes, onion, and bell pepper. Season with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. Sauté until golden and tender, approximately 10 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
03 - Whisk eggs with milk, a pinch of salt, and pepper in a bowl. Heat remaining oil in a non-stick pan over medium-low heat. Pour in egg mixture and gently scramble until just set but still moist.
04 - Heat tortillas in a dry skillet for 15-20 seconds per side or microwave for 20 seconds until pliable.
05 - Place one-fourth of the potato mixture, scrambled eggs, cooked meat, and cheese in the center of each warmed tortilla.
06 - Fold in the sides of each tortilla, then roll up tightly from bottom to top to form secure burritos.
07 - For a crispy exterior, place burritos seam-side down in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2 minutes per side.
08 - Serve immediately while hot. Accompany with salsa, hot sauce, avocado slices, or sour cream as desired.
