Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Prepare all ingredients: Dice potatoes, onion, bell pepper, and jalapeños (if using).
  • Get your pan and tools ready to avoid delays.
  • Pat the diced potatoes dry; this helps them crisp.

Cooking

  • Cook bacon in a large skillet until crispy, then crumble and set aside, reserving some fat.
  • In the same skillet, cook the sausage until browned, breaking it into medium pieces for flavor pockets.
  • Add potatoes to the skillet, cook until golden and crispy, seasoning with salt and pepper.
  • Cook onion and bell pepper in the skillet until tender-crisp, seasoning as desired, and add jalapeños if using.
  • Whisk eggs, milk, salt, and pepper then cook gently to scrambled consistency. Fold in cheese until melted.

Assembly

  • Warm tortillas, fill with scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, potatoes, and veggies, then roll tightly.
  • Serve immediately with optional garnishes.

Notes

Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat the burritos to maintain crispness.
