Breakfast Burrito Ala Idaho

Submitted by HeathersKitchen

"This burrito makes a satisfying and comforting breakfast. I often make extra mashed potatoes just to have this burrito the next morning."

 

• Ready In: 25mins
• Ingredients: 7
• Serves: 1

ingredients

• 1 tortilla, burrito size
• 1⁄2 cup mashed potatoes, warmed
• 1⁄4 cup cheddar cheese, grated
• 2 eggs, scrambled
• 1⁄4 cup cooked bacon, broken into small pieces
• 2 tablespoons salsa
• 1 tablespoon sour cream

directions

1. Warm a large skillet (big enough to hold burrito size tortilla) over medium heat.
2. Butter (1T or so) can be added to the skillet to help brown the tortilla and give the outside more flavor and crispness, but I always just warm it in a dry (no butter or oil) skillet.
3. Spread mashed potatoes down the center of tortilla.
4. Place the tortilla in warm skillet, mashed potato side up.
5. Sprinkle cheese on potatoes.
6. Sprinkle bacon pieces on cheese.
7. Spread scrambled eggs on top of bacon.
8. Top with salsa and sour cream.
9. If you like your tortilla soft, slide it out of the pan onto a plate as soon as it is warm. Roll and eat.
10. If you prefer your tortilla crunchy, continue to cook until it starts to brown, slide out of the pan onto a plate and roll imediatly.

Thank you for posting this recipe! I had to use some potatoes before they spoiled and I made a huge batch of mashed potatoes - so I am looking for all the ways to use them. This was a very good breakfast and my super picky husband even loved it. 5 stars!
