Ingredients
  

  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 cup roasted green chiles Hatch or canned, drained
  • cups breakfast potatoes diced
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • Optional Add-Ins
  • Cooked breakfast sausage or bacon
  • Avocado slices
  • Sour cream or salsa

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Spatula
  • Mixing bowl
  • Knife
  • Cutting board
  • Measuring cups

Method
 

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced potatoes, season with salt and pepper, and cook until golden and tender.
  2. In a bowl, whisk the eggs lightly with a pinch of salt and pepper.
  3. Reduce heat to medium-low and pour eggs into the skillet with the potatoes. Stir gently to scramble until eggs are mostly set but still soft.
  4. Add roasted green chiles and stir gently to combine.
  5. Sprinkle shredded cheese over the egg mixture and let it melt naturally. Remove from heat.
  6. Warm tortillas in a skillet or microwave until flexible.
  7. Spoon the egg mixture into the center of each tortilla, fold the sides inward, and roll tightly into burritos.
  8. Serve warm or wrap for later use.

Notes

  • Do not overcook the eggs; they finish cooking inside the tortilla
  • Warm tortillas prevent tearing while rolling
  • Burritos can be wrapped tightly and frozen for meal prep
