Recipe Details

  • Servings:

Ingredients

  • large russet potatoes, (cubed (1/2-inch pieces))
  • strips thick-cut bacon
  • tablespoons avocado oil
  • teaspoons salt
  • teaspoon black pepper
  • teaspoon garlic powder
  • Vital Farms Eggs
  • cup sour cream
  • tablespoon Vital Farms Unsalted Butter
  • burrito-sized flour tortillas
  • cup shredded cheddar cheese, (plus extra for layering)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F.

  2. Season potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the cubed potatoes with 2 tablespoons of the avocado oil, ¾ teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon pepper, and garlic powder until evenly coated.

  3. Arrange on baking sheet: Spread potatoes in a single layer on one half of a large baking sheet. Arrange bacon strips on the other half of the same baking sheet.

  4. Bake together: Bake for 15-20 minutes. Remove bacon when crispy and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate. Continue roasting potatoes for another 5-10 minutes until golden brown and crispy outside, tender inside.

  5. Prep bacon: Once bacon is cool, chop into bite-sized pieces.

  6. Whisk eggs: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, sour cream, remaining ½ teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon pepper until well combined.

  7. Heat pan: Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium-low heat.

  8. Cook eggs: Add egg mixture and let sit for 1 minute without stirring.

  9. Create folds: Using a rubber spatula, scrape along the bottom of the pan to create fluffy folds. Continue this gentle motion until eggs are softly scrambled but still creamy.

  10. Add cheese: Sprinkle shredded cheese over eggs, cover pan, and lower heat to lowest setting until cheese is just melty.

  11. Heat tortillas: Warm tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for 30 seconds per side until pliable and slightly toasted. This will help make sure your tortilla doesn’t rip during assembly.

  12. Layer ingredients: On each warm tortilla, create a line down the center with:

  13. ○tA sprinkle of cheese

  14. ○t½ cup roasted potatoes

  15. ○tGenerous portion of scrambled eggs

  16. ○tChopped bacon

  17. Fold burrito:

  18. ○tFold bottom edge up over filling

  19. ○tTuck in both sides

  20. ○tRoll tightly from bottom to top, keeping seam side down

  21. Heat skillet: Heat pan over medium heat.

  22. Toast: Place burritos seam-side down and cook 2-3 minutes until golden. Flip and toast the other side for 2 minutes.

  23. Enjoy immediately, or allow to cool completely, and wrap each individually and store up to 3 days in the refrigerator, or up to 6 weeks in the freezer when wrapped tightly and placed in an airtight container
