Ingredients

• 4 large flour tortillas
• 6 eggs
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup diced potatoes (or frozen hash browns)
• 0.5 cup chopped bell peppers
• 0.25 cup chopped onion
• 0.5 cup crumbled breakfast sausage or bacon (optional)
• 2 tablespoons butter or oil
• 0.5 cup salsa (optional, for serving)
• 2 teaspoons hot sauce (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter or oil.

Step 2

Cook the diced potatoes (or hash browns) for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and crispy. Add the chopped bell peppers and onions, cooking for another 5 minutes until softened. Remove the mixture from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, cook the crumbled breakfast sausage or bacon if using, until browned. Drain any excess grease and set aside.

Step 4

In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until fully combined.

Step 5

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter or oil to the skillet and pour in the egg mixture. Cook over medium heat, stirring gently with a spatula until the eggs are just set and scrambled, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat.

Step 6

Warm the flour tortillas in the microwave for 15 seconds or in a dry skillet for 30 seconds on each side to make them pliable.

Step 7

Assemble the burritos by adding an equal portion of scrambled eggs, potato mixture, cooked sausage or bacon (if using), and shredded cheese to the center of each tortilla.

Step 8

Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to form a burrito.

Step 9

Optional: Return the assembled burritos to the skillet seam-side down to toast for 1-2 minutes on each side for extra crispiness.

Step 10

Serve immediately with salsa and/or hot sauce on the side.
