Ingredients

• 6 flour tortillas
• 2 Tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 Tablespoons butter
• 1 lb frozen hash browns
• 1 small onion, diced
• 1 green bell pepper, diced
• 1 cup, shredded Cheese (I used Colby & Monterey Jack)
• 6 Eggs, beaten
• 1/2 to 1 cup deli ham, cut into small cubes
• salt & pepper, to taste
• toppings of your choice:  sour cream, salsa, ketchup

Instructions

In a large non-stick skillet, heat the oil and butter over medium to medium-high heat. 

Add the diced onion and bell pepper. Stir and cook for about 5 minutes, or until soft. 

Stir in hash browns to mix in onion and bell pepper. Pack hash browns in an even layer in the skillet. Let cook (DON’T STIR) for 5 minutes. 

Flip hash browns onto their other side and pack back in. Let it cook for another 5-7 minutes. Again, don’t stir! Continue to turn every 5 minutes until they start to get golden-brown and crispy.

While your hash browns are crisping, in another small non-stick skillet, turn the heat to medium. Spray with cooking spray. 

Pour in beaten eggs and diced ham. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Stir and cook until eggs are done. Remove from heat.

Once hash browns are crisp and golden, stir in the cheese. Stir until the cheese is melted, and then turn off the heat. Remove from the hot burner. 

On each tortilla, spread an even layer of the cheesy hash brown mixture. Top with a layer of eggs and ham. Wrap up in burrito style, and serve!

Servings

Yields: 6 breakfast burritos.

Storage and Reheating 

Store leftover breakfast burritos, place each breakfast burrito in an airtight container (or wrap in foil or plastic wrap), and refrigerate for up to 4 days. To freeze, wrap burritos and store in the freezer for up to 1 month. To reheat, remove any foil if frozen, then microwave for 1-2 minutes if refrigerated (cook for longer if frozen), flipping halfway through, until heated through. You can also reheat and crisp them in a skillet if desired.

Holly’s Tips for The Best Breakfast Burrito Recipe:

• Use High-Quality Flour Tortillas: Use fresh, large flour tortillas for these breakfast burritos. Warm them on a skillet or in the microwave to make them more pliable, so they wrap easily without tearing.
• Dice The Vegetables: Dice your onion and green bell pepper small and cook until soft. Sweating the vegetables first will prevent soggy burrito filling.
• Cook Eggs on Medium Heat: Beat your eggs with a little salt and pepper before cooking. Add diced deli ham for a savory, protein-packed filling. Cook eggs gently over medium heat for soft, fluffy results without overcooking.
• Layer Evenly: For the ultimate breakfast burrito, layer cheesy hash browns first, then eggs and ham. This keeps the tortilla from becoming soggy and ensures every bite is balanced.
• Make It Your Own: Serve warm and top with sour cream, salsa, ketchup, avocado, diced tomatoes, or jalapeños for the best taste.
