Time 40m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 potatoes, shredded
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 (8 ounce) container frozen Hatch, New Mexico green chile peppers
½ cup chicken broth
12 strips bacon
⅓ cup vegetable oil
1 tablespoon onion powder
salt and pepper to taste
6 (10 inch) flour tortillas
butter flavored cooking spray
12 extra large eggs, beaten
2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Place the shredded potatoes in a bowl, cover with water, and set aside. Bring the onion, garlic, green chiles, and chicken broth to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce the heat to low, and simmer until the sauce thickens; turn off the heat.
  • Meanwhile, place the strips of bacon on paper towels on a microwave-safe plate, and cook on High until crisp, about 1 minute per strip; set aside.
  • Heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet. Drain the potatoes, and add to the skillet. Spoon hot oil over the potatoes; sprinkle with the onion powder, salt, and pepper. Flip the potatoes occasionally, but let them fry until crispy bits form and the potatoes are cooked through, about 15 minutes.
  • Place the tortillas between two damp paper towels. Microwave on High until warm, about 30 seconds.
  • Spray a separate skillet with butter flavored cooking spray and cook the eggs over medium heat, whisking them continuously until the eggs are completely set; turn off the heat.
  • Lay a tortilla flat in front of you. Place some potatoes, scrambled egg, and a strip of bacon on the lower third, leaving about an inch of room from the bottom, and about 1-1/2 inches on the left and right clear for folding the burrito. Spoon on a little of the green chile sauce, and sprinkle with Cheddar cheese.
  • Fold the left and right edges into the middle about 1-1/2 to 2 inches. Take the bottom edge closest to you with the stuffing and pick it up, pulling it OVER the filling, while keeping the sides in place until that edge now touches the tortilla about 7/8 of the way up to the top edge. Check to see that the sides are still tucked well. If they aren't slide them in a bit now that you have the filling covered. Finish by tucking the bottom flap that you pulled over the filling UNDER the filling a bit to seal it, then continue rolling the burrito up to the top edge, forming a tight cylinder. Let it rest seam-side down, and it will stay nice and tight. Repeat with remaining ingredients.

Tips:

  • Choose the right tortillas: Corn tortillas are traditional for breakfast burritos, but you can also use flour tortillas. If you're using corn tortillas, be sure to heat them up before filling them so they don't crack.
  • Prepare your fillings ahead of time: This will make assembling your burritos much easier. You can cook the potatoes, eggs, and green chile ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator.
  • Use a variety of fillings: Don't be afraid to experiment with different fillings. Some popular options include bacon, sausage, cheese, vegetables, and salsa.
  • Don't overfill your burritos: You want your burritos to be able to be easily folded and eaten. If you overfill them, they'll be difficult to handle and may fall apart.
  • Serve your burritos with your favorite toppings: Some popular toppings include salsa, sour cream, guacamole, and pico de gallo.
