Equipment

  • 1 Air Fryer
  • 1 Spatula
  • 2 Frying pans

Ingredients

  • 1 Bay Frozen Potatoes O'Brien (with peppers and onions) 28 oz
  • 8 Large eggs
  • 8 oz Shredded Colby Jack cheese
  • 1 lb Bacon
  • 8 Tortillas Burrito-sized
  • Salt, pepper, garlic powder, to taste
  • 1 tbsp Butter for eggs
  • Butter for toasting

Instructions

  • Cook the potatoes: Add the frozen Potatoes O’Brien to the air fryer. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Air fry until golden and cooked through, tossing halfway.
  • Cook the bacon: Cook bacon as normal (oven, stovetop, or air fryer) until crispy. Once cooled slightly, dice into small pieces.
  • Scramble the eggs: Melt 1 tbsp butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add eggs and season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Scramble until just set.
  • Warm the tortillas: Heat tortillas one at a time on the stovetop (dry skillet or open flame) for a few seconds per side until soft and pliable.
  • Assemble: On each tortilla, layer a sprinkle of Colby Jack cheese, a scoop of potatoes, about 2 slices worth of diced bacon, and a portion of scrambled eggs (roughly 1 egg’s worth per burrito).
  • Roll: Fold in the sides and roll tightly into a burrito.
  • Toast: Melt a little butter in a pan over medium heat. Toast each burrito seam-side down first, then all sides, until golden and crisp.
