Ingredients
Scale
Meat & Dairy
- 1 lb bacon
- 12 eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Vegetables
- 30 oz bag crispy crowns (hash browns)
- Jalapeños, to taste
Other
- 8 burrito size flour tortillas
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- Garlic powder, to taste
- Hot sauce, for serving
Instructions
- Cook the Bacon: Heat a griddle over medium heat and add one pound of bacon. Cook the bacon until it is crispy and browned, then remove it from the griddle and set aside.
- Prepare the Hash Browns: Add the bag of crispy crowns hash browns to the griddle, cooking them in the leftover bacon grease. Flip occasionally until they turn golden brown and crispy. Remove them from the griddle and place on a plate lined with paper towels to soak up excess grease.
- Scramble the Eggs: In a bowl, whisk together 12 eggs with 1/4 cup of milk. Turn the griddle heat down to low. Pour the egg mixture onto the griddle and gently scramble the eggs, seasoning with salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste. Cook until eggs reach your preferred doneness. Once cooked, add shredded cheddar cheese and crumbled cooked bacon, mixing everything together thoroughly.
- Assemble the Burritos: Lay out a large flour tortilla and add a handful of the crispy hash browns followed by a scoop of the cheesy scrambled egg and bacon mixture. Top with jalapeños according to your spice preference. Roll the tortilla tightly to form a burrito. Repeat this process for all burritos.
- Toast the Burritos: Clean the griddle by wiping away any excess bacon grease with paper towels. Place the rolled burritos back onto the griddle over low heat and toast until the tortillas are golden brown and slightly crispy. Serve warm with hot sauce if desired.
Notes
- Cooking the hash browns in bacon grease adds extra flavor and crispiness.
- Adjust the amount of jalapeños to control the heat level in the burritos.
- For easier rolling, do not overfill the tortillas.
- Leftover burritos can be wrapped in foil and refrigerated for a quick breakfast later.
- Use a non-stick griddle or skillet if a griddle is not available.
