Ingredients (Makes 4 burritos)
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 6 large eggs
- ¼ cup milk
- 1 cup shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
- 6 strips of cooked bacon (or sausage, diced)
- 1 cup hash browns (cooked)
- ½ cup salsa (optional)
- 1 tbsp butter or oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Cook the Eggs:
- In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt the butter. Add the egg mixture and cook, stirring gently, until soft and fluffy. Remove from heat.
Assemble the Burritos:
- Lay out a tortilla on a flat surface.
- In the center, layer scrambled eggs, bacon, hash browns, cheese, and a spoonful of salsa (if using). Be careful not to overfill.
Fold the Burritos:
- Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it tightly from the bottom to the top to secure the filling.
Grill the Burritos:
- Heat a clean skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the burritos seam-side down and grill for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
Serve:
- Slice the burritos in half and serve warm with additional salsa, sour cream, or guacamole on the side.
Tips for Success
- Customize Your Filling: Add veggies like bell peppers, onions, or spinach for extra nutrition.
