Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces large flour tortillas
- 8 pieces eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 medium russet potatoes
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 8 pieces bacon slices
- 2 medium avocados
- 1 piece lime
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.25 cup hot sauce
- 0.25 cup cilantro (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
1. Prep the potatoes: Peel the potatoes and dice them into small cubes, around 1/2-inch in size. Rinse under cold water and pat dry with a paper towel.
2. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced potatoes and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and crispy. Season with paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat and set aside.
3. Cook the bacon: In a separate skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate, then crumble the bacon once cooled.
4. Scramble the eggs: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Add the eggs and cook, stirring gently, until set but still soft. Remove from heat.
5. Prepare the avocado: Slice the avocados, scoop the flesh into a bowl, and mash slightly. Add a squeeze of lime juice and a pinch of salt to enhance the flavor.
6. Warm the tortillas: Heat the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 20 seconds on each side, or until pliable.
7. Assemble the burritos: Lay a tortilla flat and start layering with scrambled eggs, crispy potatoes, crumbled bacon, mashed avocado, shredded cheddar cheese, and a drizzle of hot sauce. Sprinkle with cilantro if using.
8. Roll the burritos: Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up tightly from the bottom, tucking the filling in as you go.
9. Serve: Cut the burritos in half or serve whole. Enjoy with extra hot sauce on the side if desired.
