Breakfast Burritos

Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 20 minutes

18 eggs
1/2 c milk
1 lb thick cut bacon
1 medium onion(diced)
4 potatoes
2 T canola oil
cooking spray
1 c cheese
salt and pepper
1 t garlic powder
red chile sauce
6 tortillas


1. Heat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and cube potatoes into 1/4 - 1/2 inch cubes. Spray a cookie sheet with cooking spray. Layer potato cubes in one layer on the cookie sheet and spray potatoes with cooking spray. Roast in oven for 20-25 minutes or until lightly browned and tender.

2. Layer bacon in a single layer on a microwave safe plate and cover with a paper towel. Microwave on high for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, cook in additional 1 minute intervals until bacon is crisp. Cook in batches if you have to.

3. While bacon is cooking, cook the egg mixture. Combine the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and garlic. Beat until well combined.

4. In a large sauce pan, heat oil and saute onions until translucent. Add egg mixture and cook until scrambled and are no longer runny.

5. Add cheese to egg mixture and stir to combine.

6. When bacon is crisp, remove from plate and pat excess grease off of bacon strips. Break the bacon into 1/2 inch pieces. Add to egg mixture.

7. Remove potatoes from oven and add to egg mixture. Add red chile sauce. Stir to combine.

8. Heat tortillas, one at a time, in the microwave for 15 seconds. Place about a cup and a half of burrito filling in the center of the tortilla and wrap up (be sure to fold in at least one of the ends). Plate and serve.
Note: You don't have to add in the red chile, that is how I eat these burritos though. My husband likes green chile in them too. These can be made in very large quantities and frozen for easy breakfast. If you do freeze them, wrap them well in foil (individually) and put 4 or 5 together in a zip lock bag. To reheat in the microwave, take off the foil and zap for 5 minutes and additional 1 minute intervals until heated through. To reheat in the oven, heat oven to 400 and place burrito on rack. Bake for 30 minutes, check center temp and add more time if needed.
ENJOY!
