Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 lb bacon or sausage (or turkey bacon)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or pepper jack for spice)

  1. Cook bacon or sausage in a skillet until crispy, then drain and chop.
  2. Sauté bell pepper and onion in bacon fat or oil until soft, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add hash browns and cook until crispy. Season with cumin and smoked paprika.
  4. Whisk eggs with salt and pepper, then scramble in the skillet until just set. Stir in cheese.
  5. Warm tortillas in the microwave or lightly toast over a gas stove.
  6. Layer cheese, eggs, meat, and veggies down the center of each tortilla.
  7. Fold in the sides, then roll tightly from the bottom up.
  8. Grill seam-side down in a skillet until golden brown, about 2–3 minutes per side.
  9. Wrap in foil for portability and let rest for 2 minutes before eating.

Notes
