Directions to Follow

Start by cooking the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until it’s crispy. Once done, set it aside on paper towels to drain.
In the same skillet, scramble the eggs seasoned with salt and pepper until they’re just set.
Next, toss in your seasoned potatoes and cook them until they’re golden and crispy.
Now, layer your tortillas: Fill them with the cooked potatoes, scrambled eggs, bacon pieces, and a sprinkling of cheese.
Roll each tortilla tightly, folding in the edges to secure the filling. Then, wrap each one in foil or plastic wrap.
Place your wrapped burritos in the freezer for future breakfasts!
To enjoy, simply unwrap a burrito and microwave it for 1-2 minutes until heated through.

Best Ways to Enjoy It

There are so many delightful ways to enjoy these breakfast burritos! They’re great on their own, but you can elevate the experience by serving them with salsa, guacamole, or a dollop of sour cream. Pair them with a refreshing fruit salad or a steaming cup of coffee for the perfect start to the day!

How to Store

To keep your burritos fresh, make sure to keep them tightly wrapped in the freezer. These breakfast burritos will stay good for up to three months. When you’re ready to enjoy them again, simply unwrap and microwave—no need to defrost!

Extra Advice

For a more flavorful kick, experiment with different spices while cooking your potatoes or add fresh herbs to your egg mixture. A bit of hot sauce can go a long way in jazzing up the flavor profile!
