Ingredients
  

For the Scrambled Eggs
  • 2 tablespoons Butter Adds richness to the scrambled eggs; substituting with olive oil makes it a lighter option.
  • 4 large Eggs Provide protein and structure; using large eggs yields the best fluffy texture.
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder Enhances the flavor profile of the eggs; fresh garlic works too but adjust to taste.
  • 1 pinch Cayenne Pepper Adds mild heat; reduce or omit for a milder flavor if desired.
  • Sea Salt and Black Pepper Essential seasoning to taste; adjust based on preference.
For the Burrito Filling
  • 4 pieces Flour Tortillas Warmed; acts as the sturdy base for the burrito.
  • 2 cups Roasted or Pan-Fried Potatoes Adds volume and a satisfying texture; feel free to swap in sweet potatoes for a twist.
  • 1 cup Grated Cheddar Cheese Melts beautifully, adding a sharp flavor; Monterey Jack is a great alternative for a milder taste.
  • 1 cup Cooked Breakfast Sausage Cut into pieces; brings savory flavor; substitute with ham, turkey sausage, or chorizo to mix things up.
  • 5 slices Bacon Cooked and sliced; delivers delicious taste and crunch; can be omitted or replaced with turkey bacon.
For Serving (Optional)
  • Sour Cream Adds creaminess; perfect for bringing moisture to each bite.
  • Salsa Enhances the flavor; pairs wonderfully with the bacon egg cheese breakfast burrito.

Step-by-Step Instructions for Bacon Egg Cheese Breakfast Burrito
  1. In a skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter until foamy. Whisk together 4 large eggs, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, a pinch of cayenne pepper, and sea salt and black pepper to taste. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and stir occasionally for about 3–4 minutes, until the eggs are fluffy and fully set. Transfer the scrambled eggs to a plate and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of butter and toss in 2 cups of roasted or pan-fried potatoes. Sauté them over medium heat for about 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
  3. To warm your flour tortillas, place them on a dry skillet over low heat for about 30 seconds on each side, just until they're pliable and slightly toasty. You can also wrap them in a clean, slightly damp kitchen towel and microwave for about 20 seconds.
  4. Lay each warmed tortilla flat. In the center of each tortilla, add ½ cup of the fluffy scrambled eggs, followed by ½ cup of the crispy potatoes, ¼ cup of grated cheddar cheese, and ¼ cup of cooked breakfast sausage or bacon.
  5. Begin rolling up the tortilla from the bottom, tucking in the sides as you go to create a tight burrito shape. Place the rolled burrito seam-side down.
  6. Return the skillet to medium heat and add a touch of butter. Place the burritos sealed side down and cook for about 2–3 minutes or until golden brown and slightly crispy. Carefully flip the burritos and cook for an additional 2–3 minutes on the other side.
  7. Once cooked, serve the warm burritos immediately. Garnish with optional toppings like a dollop of sour cream and your favorite salsa.
