# What You Need:

01 - 4 large eggs
02 - 4 slices bacon or 4 breakfast sausages

→ Vegetables

03 - 2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
04 - 1 small onion, finely chopped

06 - 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
07 - 2 tablespoons milk

→ Spices & Oils

09 - 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
10 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
11 - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

# How to Make It:

01 - Cook bacon or sausage in a skillet over medium heat until browned and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels, then chop into bite-sized pieces.
02 - Add 1 tablespoon oil to the same skillet. Sauté potatoes, onion, and bell pepper with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika until golden and tender, approximately 10 minutes. Set aside.
03 - Whisk eggs with milk, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Heat remaining oil in a non-stick pan, pour in the eggs, and gently scramble until just set but still creamy.
04 - Heat tortillas in a dry pan or microwave for 20 seconds until pliable and warm.
05 - Place a quarter of the potatoes, scrambled eggs, protein, and cheese in the center of each warmed tortilla.
06 - Fold in both sides of each tortilla and roll up tightly from bottom to top to form secure burritos.
07 - For extra crispiness, grill burritos seam-side down in a dry skillet for 2 minutes to seal and create a golden exterior.
08 - Serve immediately while hot, accompanied by salsa or hot sauce if desired.
