Hearty Breakfast Burrito Wrap (Print version)

A satisfying flour tortilla stuffed with eggs, potatoes, bacon or sausage, and melted cheddar cheese.

# What you’ll need:

→ Proteins

01 - 4 large eggs
02 - 4 slices bacon or 4 breakfast sausages

→ Vegetables

03 - 2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
04 - 1 small onion, finely chopped
05 - 1 small bell pepper, diced

→ Dairy

06 - 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (100 g)
07 - 2 tablespoons milk

→ Tortillas

08 - 4 large flour tortillas (10 inches)

→ Spices & Oils

09 - 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
10 - ½ teaspoon salt
11 - ¼ teaspoon black pepper
12 - ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)

# Steps:

01 - In a skillet over medium heat, cook bacon or sausage until browned and fully cooked. Remove, drain on paper towels, and chop into bite-sized pieces.
02 - Add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil to the skillet. Sauté potatoes, onion, and bell pepper with salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika until vegetables are golden and tender, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
03 - Whisk eggs with milk, salt, and black pepper. Heat remaining tablespoon of oil in a non-stick pan, pour in egg mixture, and gently scramble until just set.
04 - Warm tortillas in a dry pan over low heat or microwave for 20 seconds until pliable.
05 - Place one quarter of the cooked potatoes, scrambled eggs, chopped bacon or sausage, and shredded cheddar cheese in the center of each tortilla.
06 - Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll tightly to enclose the filling.
07 - Grill each burrito seam-side down in a dry skillet for 2 minutes to crisp and seal the edges.
08 - Serve hot, accompanied by salsa or hot sauce if desired.

# Cooking tips:

01 -
  • It's filling enough to power you through your whole morning without that mid-morning energy crash.
  • Everything comes together in under 40 minutes, even if you're moving slowly before coffee.
  • Leftovers freeze beautifully, so you can make a batch on Sunday and grab one any weekday morning.
02 -
  • Overcooked eggs turn grainy and rubbery—pull them off heat when they still look slightly wet on top because they'll continue cooking from residual heat.
  • The order of cooking matters more than you'd think: meat first (so the pan is already hot and seasoned), then potatoes (which need the most time), then eggs last (which cook fast and need to stay creamy).
03 -
  • Cook your potatoes until they're deeply golden, not just soft, because that's where the real flavor lives—pale potatoes taste like nothing.
  • Shred your cheese fresh from a block if you have time, because it melts silkier than pre-shredded cheese with its anti-caking powder.
