Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cups tator tots
- 6 ounces Canadian bacon, diced
- 1 large slice onion, diced
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 12 large eggs
- 1/8 cup whole milk or heavy cream
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 - 2 tablespoons parsley, fresh or dried
- 1 - 2 tablespoons diced jalapenos, to taste
- 8 large flour tortillas
Instructions
- Start by prepping your ingredients first so you can assemble quickly and efficiently. Dice your onions and jalapenos, shred your cheese, cut up your Canadian bacon.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees and lightly spray a baking sheet with non-stick spray. Cook tator tots according to package instructions and set aside to cool.
- Add olive oil to skillet over medium-high heat. Add diced Canadian bacon and heat for 1 to 2 minutes until warmed through. Stir in diced onion and cook for additional 1 to 2 minutes.
- In a separate mixing bow, whisk eggs also with a dash of salt and pepper. Add 1 tablespoon of butter to skillet and once melted, reduce heat to Low and add eggs. Gently whisk in milk/cream and cook until eggs are thick and fluffy with no visible remaining liquid, stirring frequently. After about 3 to 5 minutes your eggs should be cooked, remove from heat and stir in parsley. Let cool slightly before using.
- Lay out a tortilla and line up tator tots. Top with eggs, shredded cheese and diced jalapeno. Fold in opposite sides of the tortilla, then roll the tortilla up tightly to make a burrito.
- Wrap each breakfast burrito in aluminum foil and repeat until ingredients have been used. Move foil wrapped breakfast burritos to the freezer to freeze in a single layer before moving them to a large zip top bag for easy freezer storage. Your frozen breakfast burritos are good in the freezer up to 3 months.
- To reheat, remove from freezer bag, remove foil and microwave for 2 to 4 minutes, flipping burrito over halfway through heat time OR leave wrapped in foil and heat in 400 degree oven for 30 minutes.
