'll add a picture when I remember to take one
Thing I've been eating a lot lately due to
- Being easy to make
- Something I can stomach even if I just woke up
- I watched Ethan Chelebowski's video on a 14min breakfast burrito & decided to wing it with what I had one day
Ingredients
What I usually use
- 8-ish tater tots
- I usually make extra & eat the rest as a side
- 2 eggs
- 10in flour tortilla
- Shredded cheese
- Butter or Oil for the pan
- Optional:
- Bacon bits (real or fake. Adds savory contrast)
- Basil (mixed in w/eggs)
Instructions
- Make tater tots according to package instructions
- Since the eggs will cook fast, this is a great time to clean up any dishes you forgot about
- Once cooked, take some of the tater tots & lay them out in the center of your tortilla. Sprinkle your cheese over top it while it's still hot so it has a chance to start melting
- Scramble your eggs & cook to taste, then once you're done add the eggs over top the cheese.
- I usually scramble them on low heat directly in the pan so I don't have to clean as many dishes afterwards. Personally I prefer a slightly runny scramble, but cook to your own tastes!
- Optional; add bacon bits, or other preferred add-in
- Roll up your burrito and enjoy!
Other Notes
- I cook my eggs on low heat is it's easier to control the texture / not overdo them. Plus, I can start cooking them as the tater tots are finishing up.
- Part of the reason I like this is because most of the things can be stored for a while, or are usually in the house. Tater tots? frozen goods. Tortillas? freeze to extend shelf life & reheat for 15-30 seconds when using. Eggs & shredded cheese are stuff my family usually keeps in the house
