Breakfast Burritos: Eggs, Ham, Bacon, Hash Browns & Cheese

These can be frozen for a quick and easily accessible breakfast another time.

Ingredients

  • 8 burrito-size flour tortillas
  • 3 c. frozen hash browns, thawed
  • ¼ c. onion, chopped fine
  • ½ c. chopped bell peppers, optional
  • 10 slices center-cut bacon
  • 1 c. ham, diced in small cubes (7 oz. ham steak)
  • 12 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1/4 c. whole milk
  • 1/2 t. kosher sea salt
  • 1/4 t. black pepper
  • 1/4 t. paprika
  • 1 c. cheddar cheese, shredded (see Note)
  • 1 c. Monterey jack cheese, shredded

Instructions

Fry hash brown potatoes and chopped onions according to package instructions. When half done, add in the bell peppers and cook until potatoes are crispy; set aside.

Cook bacon until crispy, crumble and set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and paprika. Place a large skillet set over medium-low heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil or a small pat of butter. Add the egg mixture to the skillet and cook until fully set, about 5-7 minutes and set aside.

To assemble burritos, top each tortilla with a little potatoes, bacon, eggs, ham and cheese. OR you can add all ingredients, except cheese, to a large bowl and mix together. Distribute filling evenly among burrito wraps, add a little cheese and fold**. To wrap, fold sides in a bit, then fold bottom up and start to roll up. Warm in microwave a few seconds to melt the cheese and reheat the filling ingredients. Enjoy.

*If you have leftover filling, just throw all of the ingredients together and reheat the next morning for a hearty egg scramble.

FREEZER FRIENDLY INSTURCTIONS: Roll each rolled burrito tightly in saran wrap and place in a Ziploc bag to freeze for another time. Pre-made burritos can be frozen for up to three months. Thaw in refrigerator overnight and heat in microwave to warm.

NOTE: You can add any thing you'd like to these burritos. Try switching out the ham for cooked sausage or add vegetables.

You can substitute 2 cup cheddar jack cheese instead of using 1 cup cheddar and 1 cup Monterey Jack cheeses.
