Ingredients

  • 2 cups frozen diced hash brown potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons oil
  • 6 large eggs, beaten
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1 cup (115g) shredded cheddar
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 1/2 cup salsa
  • Hot sauce and avocado, optional

Method

  1. Crisp the potatoes in the oil over medium-high heat, 8–10 minutes; season and set aside.
  2. Lower the heat to medium, add the eggs to the same pan and scramble softly until just set.
  3. Warm the tortillas so they roll without cracking.
  4. Layer eggs, potatoes, cheese and salsa down the center of each tortilla.
  5. Fold in the sides, then roll up tightly into a burrito.
  6. Eat now, or sear seam-side down in a dry pan for a crisp finish.

Cook's notes

  • To freeze: wrap each cooled burrito in foil; reheat from frozen at 350°F for ~25 min.
  • Keep fillings dry-ish so the tortilla doesn't go soggy.
  • Add cooked sausage, bacon or black beans to bulk them up.
