Ingredients
- 2 cups tater tots
- 8 Bacon strips
- 1 tablespoon butter or olive oil
- 6 egg large
- 1 tablespoon milk or water
- kosher salt
- black pepper
- 4 flour tortilla 10 inch
- 1 cup Monterey jack cheese or cheddar cheese; shredded
- 1 avocado pitted, peeled, and thinly sliced, large
- 1 cup Pico de Gallo
- salsa for serving, optional
- hot sauce for serving, optional
Instructions
- Cook the tater tots according to package instructions and set aside.
- In a large cast-iron skillet, cook the bacon until crispy on both sides. Transfer to a paper towel lined plate and set aside.
- In a small bowl, combine the eggs, milk or water, salt, and pepper. Whisk until well blended.
- In a medium skillet, over medium heat, melt the butter or heat the olive oil. Turn the heat to medium low and add the eggs. Cook until softly scrambled. Remove from heat.
- Place the tortillas in the microwave for 30 seconds or until pliable.
- Roughly chop up the bacon into bite-size pieces.
- To assemble the burritos, lay the tortillas on a clean, flat surface. Divide the eggs equally between the tortillas, placing them in a line down the center of the tortilla. Place about 5 tater tots on top of the eggs, you can smash them down a little with your hands or a spoon. Top evenly with the bacon pieces, cheese, sliced avocado, and pico de gallo.
- Fold in opposite sides of each tortilla, then roll up, burrito-style. You can serve immediately or heat them up.
- If you want to heat the burritos up, so the outside gets a little crispy and so the cheese can melt, place the burritos, seam-side down in a large skillet and cook on medium-high heat for about 30 seconds on all sides. You can also place the burritos on a greased baking sheet and bake in a 400-degree F oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until heated through.
- Serve with salsa or hot sauce, if desired.
