Warm tortillas filled with scrambled eggs, seasoned potatoes, and cheddar cheese. Choose from ham, sausage, bacon, or TVP for your protein. Served with a side of salsa and seasonal fruit for a flavorful, wholesome start to your day in the great outdoors.

INGREDIENTS

8 large flour tortillas
8 large eggs
2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
2 cups potatoes (peeled and diced into small cubes)
1 cup diced ham or bacon (cooked and crumbled), sausage or TVP
1 tbsp olive oil (for frying)
Salt and pepper, to taste
1/2 tsp garlic powder (optional)
1/2 tsp paprika (optional)
Fresh salsa (for serving)
Seasonal fruit (for serving)

INSTRUCTIONS

Prepare the Potatoes: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced potatoes and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
Cook, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are golden brown and tender (about 10-12 minutes).
Set aside.

Cook the Protein: If using ham or bacon, heat a separate skillet and cook the ham (or bacon) until crispy and browned. Cook bacon for 4–5 minutes per side, or until crispy. For sausage, cook until browned on both sides and fully cooked through (160°F for sausage). Set aside. If using TVP, rehydrate according to package instructions (usually with hot water). Sauté in a skillet with a little oil for 5-7 minutes until slightly browned.

Scramble the Eggs: Crack the eggs into a large bowl, beat until well combined, and season with salt and pepper. In a skillet over medium heat, scramble the eggs in a bit of butter or oil. Stir often until soft and cooked through (about 3-4 minutes).

Assemble the Burritos: Warm the flour tortillas in a skillet for a few seconds to make them pliable. On each tortilla, layer some of the scrambled eggs, potatoes, your choice of protein, and a generous handful of shredded cheddar cheese. Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it up tightly.

SERVE with fresh salsa and seasonal fruit for a balanced and refreshing breakfast.
