Ingredients
  

  • 4 bacon slices
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 lb russet potatoes peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
  • 8 oz bulk breakfast sausage
  • 6 eggs large
  • 2 tbsp milk
  • 0.25 tsp kosher salt
  • 0.125 tsp black pepper
  • 4 flour tortillas 10-inch
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded

Equipment

  • 1 12-inch skillet
  • 1 microwave

Method
 

  1. Cook the bacon in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat for 8 to 10 minutes, turning as needed, until crisp; transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
  2. Pour off the bacon drippings and carefully wipe the skillet; add the oil and potatoes, cover, and cook over medium-low heat for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring once or twice. Uncover and cook over medium-high heat for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender and golden; transfer to a plate.
  3. Cook the sausage in the same skillet over medium heat for 6 to 8 minutes, breaking it into small pieces, until browned and it reaches 160°F; transfer to the plate with the potatoes.
  4. Whisk the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl.
  5. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and cook over medium-low heat for 2 to 4 minutes, stirring gently, until just set.
  6. Warm the tortillas, covered with a slightly damp paper towel, in the microwave for 20 to 30 seconds to make them flexible.
  7. Divide the potatoes, sausage, eggs, and crumbled bacon among the tortillas; top each with cheddar, fold in the sides, and roll up tightly.
  8. Toast the burritos seam-side down in the skillet over medium heat, working in batches, for 1 to 2 minutes per side until golden and the cheese is melted.

Notes

For flexible tortillas that roll without tearing, warm them just until pliable. Refrigerate wrapped burritos for up to 3 days or freeze them for up to 2 months. For a dairy-free version, use unsweetened dairy-free milk and dairy-free cheddar.
