Equipment
- Skillet or frying pan
- Medium mixing bowl
- Knife and cutting board
- Large spoon or spatula
- Grater (if using cheese)
- Tortilla warmer or clean kitchen towel (optional)
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 medium-sized potatoes peeled and diced
- 4 slices of bacon or vegetarian sausage
- 1 cup of green chile sauce either homemade or store-bought
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese optional
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh cilantro for garnish optional
Instructions
- Prepare the Potatoes: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add diced potatoes and cook until crispy and golden, about 7-10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
- Cook the Bacon: In the same skillet, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove from the pan, crumble, and set aside.
- Scramble the Eggs: In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. Pour the eggs into the skillet and scramble until fully cooked. Remove from heat.
- Assemble the Burritos: Warm the tortillas in a tortilla warmer or by placing them in a dry skillet for a few seconds on each side. Spread a spoonful of green chile sauce in the center of each tortilla.
- Add the Fillings: Place some crispy potatoes, scrambled eggs, bacon (or sausage), and shredded cheese (if using) in the center of the tortilla. Roll up the tortilla, folding in the sides, to form a burrito.
- Serve: Garnish with fresh cilantro and an extra drizzle of green chile sauce if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
Vegetarian Option: Use vegetarian sausage or skip the meat entirely for a meatless version.
Green Chile Sauce: You can make your own green chile sauce using roasted green chilies, garlic, and onion, or purchase it pre-made from the store.
Freezing: These burritos can be made in bulk and frozen for later. Just wrap them tightly in foil and store them in the freezer. Reheat in the oven or microwave for a quick breakfast option.
