Ingredients

  • tortillas4 pcs
  • egg6 pcs
  • potato400 g
  • sausage or bacon200 g
  • cheddar cheese120 g
  • salsa120 g
  • vegetable oil2 tbsp
  • salt1 to taste
  • ground black pepper1 to taste

Instructions

1

Cut the potatoes (400 g) into small cubes about 1–1.5 cm on each side. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the potatoes in a single layer, season with salt and pepper to taste, and cook for 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and crisp. Transfer the potatoes to a plate.

2

In the same skillet, heat another 1 tbsp oil and cook the sausage (or sliced bacon) for 5–7 minutes, breaking it into pieces with a spatula, until nicely browned. Drain off any excess fat and add the meat to the potatoes.

3

In a bowl, whisk 6 eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. Pour the eggs into the same skillet over low heat and stir slowly with a spatula for 2–3 minutes, until they begin to set but are still a bit soft.

4

While the eggs are still slightly runny, return the potatoes and sausage (bacon) to the skillet and gently fold everything together for another minute, until the eggs are fully cooked.

5

Warm the tortillas for 15–20 seconds on each side in a dry skillet or over an open flame, so they become soft and won't crack when folded.

6

Spoon a quarter of the filling onto the center of each of the 4 tortillas, sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese (30 g per serving) and top with salsa (30 g per serving).

7

Fold in the sides of the tortilla toward the center, then roll it up tightly from the bottom into a compact roll, seam side down.

8

If desired, sear the burritos seam side down in a dry, hot skillet for 1–2 minutes on each side until lightly golden and crisp, sealing the seam. Serve hot, cut in half diagonally.
