Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 25 mins
Total Time: 40 mins
Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: 4 burritos
Ingredients
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup cooked and seasoned potatoes
- 1 cup cooked bacon or sausage
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup salsa
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients by washing, chopping, and measuring them beforehand. Ensure bacon or sausage is fully cooked and crispy.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add cooked potatoes and season with salt and pepper, stirring occasionally until they are golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes.
- In a separate non-stick pan, cook eggs sunny-side up or scrambled, depending on preference. Season with salt and pepper.
- Warm the flour tortillas on a griddle or in a dry skillet for about 30 seconds on each side to make them pliable.
- To assemble the burrito, place a warm tortilla on a clean surface. Layer cooked potatoes in the center of the tortilla.
- Add scrambled eggs on top of the potatoes, followed by cooked bacon or sausage.
- Sprinkle shredded cheese over the warm ingredients to help it melt slightly.
- Add sliced avocado and a dollop of sour cream.
- Fold the bottom of the tortilla up, then fold in the sides, and roll tightly to create a sealed burrito.
- Optional: Place the burrito seam-side down in a hot skillet to lightly crisp the exterior.
- For the creamy salsa, mix salsa with sour cream in a small bowl until well combined.
- Serve immediately with creamy salsa on the side for dipping.
Tips
- Prep is Key: Have all your ingredients chopped, cooked, and ready before assembly to make the process smooth and quick.
- Crispy Potato Perfection: Make sure to cook potatoes on medium-high heat and don't overcrowd the pan to achieve that golden, crispy exterior.
- Egg Technique: For the fluffiest eggs, whisk them well and cook on low-medium heat, stirring gently.
- Tortilla Warming Hack: Warm tortillas briefly on a griddle to make them more pliable and prevent cracking when rolling.
- Tight Rolling Method: Fold the bottom up first, then fold in the sides before rolling to create a leak-proof burrito.
- Cheese Melting Trick: Sprinkle cheese over warm ingredients to help it melt slightly before rolling.
- Optional Crisp Finish: For an extra texture, lightly crisp the rolled burrito in a hot skillet for a golden exterior.
- Creamy Salsa Pro Tip: Mix salsa and sour cream thoroughly for a smooth, consistent dipping sauce.
