Step-by-Step Instructions for Bacon Egg Cheese Breakfast Burrito
  1. Melt the Butter: Heat a skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter. Allow it to melt completely.
  2. Whisk the Eggs: In a bowl, crack 4 large eggs and whisk with garlic powder, a pinch of cayenne pepper, sea salt, and black pepper. Pour into the skillet and cook gently, stirring frequently, until fully set, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Prepare the Potatoes: Keep 1 cup of pre-cooked roasted or pan-fried potatoes warm. Toss briefly in the skillet if not warm.
  4. Warm the Tortillas: Using the same skillet, warm 4 large flour tortillas over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side.
  5. Assemble the Burritos: Layer fillings on warmed tortillas: 1/2 cup scrambled eggs, 1/2 cup potatoes, 1/4 cup grated cheddar cheese, and 1/4 cup of cooked bacon or sausage.
  6. Roll the Burritos: Fold sides of each tortilla inward, then tightly roll from the bottom.
  7. Cook the Burritos: Place burritos seam side down in the skillet over medium heat, cooking for 2-3 minutes until golden, then flip and cook another 2-3 minutes.
  8. Serve with Toppings: Remove from skillet and serve hot with sour cream and salsa.
