Ingredients

  • 1 pound cooked breakfast sausage or bacon
  • 3 cups cooked breakfast potatoes or hashbrowns
  • 1 green pepper diced
  • 1 yellow onion diced
  • 8 oz cheddar
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 8 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup cottage cheese optional
  • salt and pepper
  • 8 large tortillas

Instructions

  • In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon, sausage, or ham until fully cooked and crispy (if using bacon or sausage). Remove from the pan and set aside.
  • Bake or air fry the tater tots according to package directions, until golden and crispy. Transfer to a plate.
  • Melt the butter in the pan over medium heat.
  • Add the diced green pepper and onion, cooking for about 5 minutes until soft.
  • Reduce heat to low to prevent the eggs from overcooking.
  • In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, pepper, and cottage cheese (if using) until smooth.
  • Pour the egg mixture into the pan with the cooked vegetables.
  • Stir gently with a spatula, cooking until the eggs are just set but still soft (about 3-4 minutes). Remove from heat.
  • Stir together the scrambled eggs, cooked meat, cheese, and crispy potatoes in a large bowl.
  • Divide the mixture evenly between 8 large tortillas.
  • Fold in the sides, then roll the tortilla tightly into a burrito.
  • Optional: Toast the Burritos
  • Heat a clean skillet over medium heat.
  • Place the burritos seam-side down and cook for 1-2 minutes per side, until golden brown and slightly crispy.
