Potato Egg Burrito

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 20 minutes

Additional Time: 5 minutes

Total Time: 40 minutes

Servings: 4

Ingredients:

• 4 medium russet potatoes, peeled and diced into 1/2-inch cubes
• 4 large eggs
• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/4 cup diced onion
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 large tortillas or burrito wraps
• Salsa, sour cream, and guacamole (optional toppings)

Steps to Cook:

1. Peel and dice the potatoes into 1/2-inch cubes, ensuring they are uniform in size for even cooking.
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and lightly browned, about 15 minutes.
3. Crack the 4 large eggs into a bowl and beat them lightly with a fork. Season the egg mixture with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.
4. Push the cooked potatoes to the sides of the skillet, creating a well in the center. Pour the beaten, seasoned eggs into the well and let them cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are scrambled and cooked through, about 5 minutes.
5. Remove the skillet from the heat and stir the potatoes and eggs together until they are well combined.
6. Stir in the 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and the 1/4 cup of diced onion, ensuring the ingredients are evenly distributed.
7. Warm the 4 large tortillas or burrito wraps according to the package instructions, typically for about 30 seconds to 1 minute per side on a hot, dry skillet or in the microwave.
8. Scoop the potato-egg-cheese-onion mixture onto the center of each warmed tortilla or wrap. Fold the sides of the tortilla or wrap over the filling, then roll it up tightly to form a burrito.
9. Serve the potato egg burritos warm, with salsa, sour cream, and guacamole available as optional toppings on the side.

Cook’s Note:

• For a spicier version of the potato egg burrito, you can add diced jalapeño or a pinch of cayenne pepper to the egg mixture before cooking.
• Feel free to swap out the cheddar cheese for your favorite variety, such as pepper jack or Monterey Jack, to customize the flavor profile.
• Leftover burritos can be wrapped in foil and refrigerated for up to 3 days. Reheat them in the microwave or oven before serving.
• This recipe can be easily doubled or tripled to feed a larger crowd, making it a great option for meal prepping or serving at gatherings.
