Scrambled egg and potato breakfast burrito

A large flour tortilla rolled around creamy scrambled eggs, golden potatoes, melted cheese, and a touch of salsa, in true morning Tex-Mex spirit.

Ingredients

  • 4 pieces Large flour tortillas
  • 8 pieces Eggs
  • 400 g Potatoes
  • 150 g Shredded cheddar
  • 2 pieces Scallion
  • 100 g Red salsa
  • 0.5 bunches Fresh cilantro
  • 20 g Butter
  • 2 tbsp Vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp Smoked paprika
  • 1 pinch Salt

Method

  1. Peel and dice the potatoes. Brown them for 12 to 15 minutes in a pan with hot oil, smoked paprika, and salt, until they are tender and crispy.
  2. Beat the eggs with a pinch of salt. Thinly slice the scallions and chop the cilantro.
  3. Melt the butter in a pan over low heat, then pour in the eggs. Stir slowly to get creamy scrambled eggs; remove from the heat while still slightly runny.
  4. Warm the tortillas for a few seconds in a dry pan or microwave to soften them.
  5. In the center of each tortilla, place the scrambled eggs, potatoes, shredded cheddar, a spoonful of salsa, scallion, and cilantro.
  6. Fold both sides toward the center, then roll the burrito firmly, wrapping the filling tightly.
  7. Sear the burritos for 1 to 2 minutes on each side in the hot pan, seam side down, to brown the tortilla and melt the cheese. Cut in half and serve.
