• 1/2 cup diced onion

Directions

Prep the Ingredients

1. Cook the potatoes: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced potatoes, season with smoked paprika, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook for 12–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and crispy. Set aside.
2. Cook the protein: In the same skillet, cook the sausage (or bacon/chorizo) until browned and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
3. Cook the veggies: Add the onions and bell peppers to the skillet with a small drizzle of oil if needed. Sauté for 3–4 minutes until softened. Set aside.

Make the Eggs

1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined.
2. Heat 1 tbsp butter in a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Pour in the eggs and cook, stirring gently, until soft and fluffy. Remove from heat.

Assemble the Burritos

1. Warm tortillas: Heat tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for 20–30 seconds to make them pliable.
2. Layer the fillings: Place a tortilla on a flat surface. Add 1/4 of the scrambled eggs, potatoes, sausage, and sautéed veggies. Top with shredded cheese and any optional toppings like salsa, avocado, or hot sauce.
3. Wrap tightly: Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up tightly from the bottom.

Toast the Burritos

1. Heat a clean skillet over medium heat. Place the wrapped burrito seam-side down in the skillet.
2. Cook for 2–3 minutes per side until golden and crispy. This step seals the burrito and adds a delicious crunch.

Serving Suggestions

• Serve with extra salsa or hot sauce on the side.
• Pair with fresh fruit or a simple green salad for a complete breakfast.
• Great for meal prep: Wrap burritos in foil or parchment paper, freeze, and reheat in the oven or microwave for a quick breakfast.
