Ingredients
  

Main ingredients

  • 6 large large eggs
  • 4 strips bacon or 2 sausage links, cooked and crumbled Can substitute with sausage.
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice) Pepper jack for added heat.
  • 2 cups frozen hash browns, cooked
  • 1/2 cup smoky salsa
  • 4 large tortillas Warmed before filling.
  • to taste Salt and pepper Don’t skip; essential for flavor.
  • for cooking Butter or oil

Instructions
 

Cooking

  • In a large skillet, heat a bit of butter or oil over medium heat until the fat moves easily in the pan, but is not smoking.
  • Scramble the eggs in a bowl, season with salt and pepper, and pour them into the skillet. Stir gently and cook until they are almost set, still slightly glossy. Remove from heat when slightly undercooked to ensure creaminess.
  • Add the cooked bacon or sausage, shredded cheese, and hash browns to the eggs, stirring until the cheese melts.
  • Warm the tortillas separately, then spoon the egg mixture onto each tortilla, laying it near the center. Avoid overfilling.
  • Drizzle smoky salsa over the filling, wrap the tortilla tightly, tucking in the ends. For a grilled finish, place seam-side down on a skillet for 30 seconds.
  • Serve warm with extra salsa and toppings. Cut in half to make it easier for kids to eat.

Notes

Serve family-style for a fun dining experience. For meal prep, wrap burritos tightly and store in the fridge for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 2 months. To reheat, use oven or skillet for the best texture.
