Ingredients

For the Burritos

4 large eggs
2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)
4 large flour tortillas
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
Chopped fresh herbs (optional, for garnish)

Feel free to add your favorite toppings like salsa or avocado!

Instructions

Cook the Potatoes

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced potatoes, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are golden and crispy.

Scramble the Eggs

In a bowl, whisk the eggs together with a pinch of salt. In a separate skillet, scramble the eggs over medium heat until just set, about 3-5 minutes.

Assemble the Burritos

Lay a tortilla flat and layer with scrambled eggs, crispy potatoes, and shredded cheese. Roll it up tightly and repeat with the remaining tortillas.

Serve

Optional: Toast the burritos in a skillet for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Serve warm, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.

Enjoy your cozy breakfast burrito!

Storage Tips

Proper storage is essential to maintain the freshness and taste of your breakfast burritos. If you've prepared them in advance, make sure to wrap them tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil before placing them in the refrigerator. They can typically last up to three days in the fridge without losing their flavor.

If you're freezing your burritos, ensure they are fully cooled before wrapping. Labeling them with the date can help you keep track of how long they've been stored. When reheating, ensure they are heated thoroughly to avoid any cold spots.

Variations to Try

Get creative by experimenting with different ingredients. You could swap out traditional potatoes for sweet potatoes for a healthier twist. Add black beans for extra protein and fiber, or incorporate avocado slices for creaminess. The possibilities are endless, making this recipe a favorite for breakfast enthusiasts.

For a Tex-Mex flair, consider adding chorizo or diced ham to the filling. These proteins can add depth and richness to the burrito, transforming it into a hearty meal that will keep you satisfied for hours.
