Breakfast Burrito
These hearty breakfast burritos are packed with scrambled eggs, crispy potatoes, melty cheese, and crispy bacon. Perfect for busy mornings, weekend brunch, or make-ahead freezer meals.
Ingredients
- 2 large russet potatoes, cubed (1/2-inch pieces)
- 8 strips thick-cut bacon
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
- 1 1/4 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 3/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 8 Vital Farms Eggs
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon Vital Farms Unsalted Butter
- 4 burrito-sized flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, plus extra for layering
Instructions
Step 1: Cook Potatoes and Bacon Together
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- Season potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the cubed potatoes with 2 tablespoons of the avocado oil, ¾ teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon pepper, and garlic powder until evenly coated.
- Arrange on baking sheet: Spread potatoes in a single layer on one half of a large baking sheet. Arrange bacon strips on the other half of the same baking sheet.
- Bake together: Bake for 15-20 minutes. Remove bacon when crispy and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate. Continue roasting potatoes for another 5-10 minutes until golden brown and crispy outside, tender inside.
- Prep bacon: Once bacon is cool, chop into bite-sized pieces.
Step 2: Soft-Scramble the Eggs
- Whisk eggs: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, sour cream, remaining ½ teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon pepper until well combined.
- Heat pan: Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium-low heat.
- Cook eggs: Add egg mixture and let sit for 1 minute without stirring.
- Create folds: Using a rubber spatula, scrape along the bottom of the pan to create fluffy folds. Continue this gentle motion until eggs are softly scrambled but still creamy.
- Add cheese: Sprinkle shredded cheese over eggs, cover pan, and lower heat to lowest setting until cheese is just melty.
Step 3: Warm Tortillas
- Heat tortillas: Warm tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for 30 seconds per side until pliable and slightly toasted. This will help make sure your tortilla doesn’t rip during assembly.
Step 4: Assemble Burritos
- Layer ingredients: On each warm tortilla, create a line down the center with:
- ○ A sprinkle of cheese
- ○ ½ cup roasted potatoes
- ○ Generous portion of scrambled eggs
- ○ Chopped bacon
- Fold burrito:
- ○ Fold bottom edge up over filling
- ○ Tuck in both sides
- ○ Roll tightly from bottom to top, keeping seam side down
Step 5: Toast Burritos
- Heat skillet: Heat pan over medium heat.
- Toast: Place burritos seam-side down and cook 2-3 minutes until golden. Flip and toast the other side for 2 minutes.
- Enjoy immediately, or allow to cool completely, and wrap each individually and store up to 3 days in the refrigerator, or up to 6 weeks in the freezer when wrapped tightly and placed in an airtight container
