How to Make Breakfast Burritos with Bacon
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook slices of bacon until crispy, then transfer to a plate, leaving the bacon fat in the pan. Add hashbrowns and cook until golden and crispy. (See my guide: [LINK for Hashbrowns] and [LINK for Bacon]).
- In a medium bowl, whisk eggs until well combined. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and melt butter. Pour in the egg mixture and scramble gently until fluffy. Grate plenty of cheese and chop green onions.
- Lay a large flour tortilla on a clean work surface. Add a layer of hashbrowns, scrambled eggs, crispy bacon, cheese, and green onions. Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then wrap the burrito tightly.
- Heat a skillet over low heat and melt butter or use the leftover bacon grease. Place the burrito seam-side down and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until golden and crispy.
- Slice in half and serve with a side of salsa and sour cream, pico de gallo, hot sauce, refried beans, or Greek yogurt.

How to Store and Reheat Breakfast Burritos
These bacon breakfast burritos are great for meal prep and can be stored in different ways:

- Freezing Instructions: Wrap burritos in plastic wrap, then in aluminum foil, and store in a freezer bag for up to 3 months.

In the microwave, wrap the burrito in a damp paper towel and heat for 3-4 minutes. If using an air fryer, set the temperature to 350°F and cook for 5-7 minutes until crispy and heated.
Tips for the Best Breakfast Burritos
- Warm Tortillas – Tortillas from the grocery store can sometimes be stiff. Warm them in the microwave for 15 seconds for easier rolling, or heat a large, dry skillet or cast iron pan over medium heat. Place the tortilla in the pan for about 10-20 seconds per side
- Add Variety– Try adding red pepper flakes, bell peppers, or black beans for extra flavor.
- Make Them Spicy – Add hot sauce, jalapeños, or Pepper Jack cheese for a kick.
