Breakfast Burrito Recipe
Description
The Breakfast Burrito Recipe assembles cooked scrambled eggs, crispy bacon strips, shredded cheddar cheese, and oven-baked hash brown patties inside warm flour tortillas. The layering includes cheese both beneath and over the bacon to ensure even melting. Once rolled, the burritos are baked in the oven to crisp the exterior and melt the cheese throughout.
This assembly balances creamy egg texture with crunch from bacon and the crispness of hash browns. The salsa adds a fresh, tangy note when served. The burritos can be enjoyed immediately after toasting while the cheese is melted and the tortilla warmed through.
The recipe includes tips to prevent sogginess by avoiding overly wet fillings and advises not to overfill the burrito to maintain structure during rolling and baking. Preparing several burritos at once allows for batch cooking and potential freezing.
For freezing, burritos should be wrapped and frozen prior to toasting; reheat them in the oven until hot and crisp. Toasting the burrito after rolling not only crisps the outside but also helps seal it, preventing filling leaks during handling.
Ingredients
- 4 Hash Brown Patties
- 2 flour tortillas warmed, burrito sized
- 1 recipe scrambled eggs
- 4 trips Bacon crispy, cooked
- 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded
- 4 tablespoons salsa of choice
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400˚F. Place hashbrowns onto a lightly greased baking sheet and bake for 6 to 7 minutes. Flip and continue to bake for an additional 6 to 7 minutes.Remove from oven and set aside.
- Place a warm tortilla onto a clean surface and top with half of the scrambled eggs.
- Top scrambled eggs with 1/4 cup shredded cheese.
- Top cheese with 2 bacon strips.
- Top bacon strips with another 1/4 cup shredded cheese.
- Top shredded cheese with 2 hashbrowns.
- Fold the short sides of the tortilla inward, then carefully roll the burrito up.
- Set burrito onto a baking sheet, seam side down and repeat with remaining ingredients for the second burrito.
- Toast burritos in oven for 3 to 4 minutes, flip and continue to toast for another 2 minutes or until the shredded cheese melts. Remove from oven and serve.
Notes
- Freeze un-toasted burritos wrapped tightly in parchment and foil for up to 3 months.
- Reheat frozen burritos in the oven at 375°F for 15 minutes, then turn and bake 8-10 more minutes until heated through and cheese melts.
- Toast burritos after rolling to create a crisp exterior and seal the filling inside.
- Avoid adding too many wet ingredients to prevent soggy burritos.
- Do not overstuff burritos to avoid filling bursting during rolling or baking.
