Ingredients
- ½ cup oil
- 32 ounce package frozen diced hash browns
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1 green bell pepper
- 6 eggs
- 2 tablespoons water
- salt and pepper
- 1 ½ cups shredded Mexican blend cheese , or your favorite kind
- crushed red pepper flakes , optional
- 10 large flour tortillas , burrito size
- hot sauce for serving, if desired
Instructions
- Add oil to an extra large skillet with high sides, over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the frozen, diced hashbrowns.
- Cook hashbrowns, occasionally tossing, for about 5 minutes. Season well with salt and pepper.
- Add the diced bell peppers and continue cooking, tossing occasionally, for another 5 minutes or so, or until the potatoes start to get golden the sides.
- Meanwhile, add the eggs and water to a bowl and whisk well with a fork.
- Push the potato mixture off to the side of the pan and pour the beaten eggs into the pan.
- Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring with a wooden spoon until they are soft scrambled. Don’t overcook them.
- Combine the eggs and potatoes. Taste and season with additional salt and pepper, as needed.
- Add crushed red pepper flakes, if desired.
- Place a tortilla on the counter in front of you. Sprinkle a big handful of shredded cheese on it.
- Add a heaping ½ cup of the potato mixture to the tortilla and fold it tightly into a burrito.
- If serving immediately, I like to toast them in a large skillet for a few seconds on all sides. Serve with your favorite hot sauce, if desired.

Notes
- To freeze: wrap each burrito individually in tinfoil, and place the burritos in a freezer-safe bag. Freeze for up to 2 months.To reheat: For best results, allow the burritos to thaw in the fridge overnight, and then reheat in themicrowave or oven in the morning.
