Description
Learn how to make breakfast burritos stuffed with crisp bacon, scrambled egg, cheese, and hash browns wrapped in foil for easy freezing and reheating.
Ingredients
•
1 (12 ounce) package bacon
•
10 large eggs
•
3 tablespoons milk
•
1/4 teaspoon salt
•
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
•
4 cups frozen hash brown potatoes with peppers and onion (such as Ore-Ida® Potatoes O'Brien®)
•
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
•
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
•
10 sheets aluminum foil
•
10 large flour tortillas
•
1 1/2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
•
1 cup salsa, or to taste
Directions
1
Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain on paper towels and crumble into bits. Keep the skillet warm.
2
Whisk together eggs, milk, and salt in a bowl until combined. Pour into the hot skillet. Cook and stir over medium-high heat until eggs are scrambled and set, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
3
Heat oil in the same skillet over medium-high heat. Add frozen potatoes, garlic salt, and pepper. Fry until browned on the bottom, 4 to 5 minutes. Flip and cook until other side is browned, 4 to 5 minutes more. Let cool.
4
Lay 10 sheets of aluminum foil, slightly larger than tortillas, on a flat work surface. Lay 1 tortilla on each aluminum foil piece; evenly distribute Cheddar cheese on top. Add scrambled eggs, bacon bits, salsa, and potatoes to each tortilla, in that order. Tightly roll burritos, tucking tops and bottoms in first.
5
Wrap aluminum foil tightly around each burrito, covering it completely. Place in resealable plastic bags in a single layer. Remove as much air as possible from the bags before sealing. Store in the freezer until ready to reheat.
6
Reheat by removing the aluminum foil, placing burrito on a microwave-safe plate, and covering it with a paper towel. Heat in the microwave until evenly warmed through, 1 to 2 minutes.
