# What You Need:

→ Homemade Tortillas

01 - 2 cups all-purpose flour
02 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
03 - 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
04 - 3/4 cup warm water

→ Filling

05 - 1 1/2 cups frozen shredded hash browns, thawed
06 - 6 slices bacon
07 - 6 large eggs
08 - 1/2 cup whole milk
09 - 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
10 - 2 tablespoons butter
11 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
12 - 1/8 teaspoon black pepper

→ Assembly

13 - Cooking spray or melted butter for brushing

# Steps:

01 - Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Drizzle in vegetable oil, then gradually add warm water, mixing until a soft dough forms. Knead for 3-4 minutes until smooth. Divide into 12 equal portions, cover, and let rest for 10 minutes.
03 - On a floured surface, roll each dough portion into a thin 6-inch diameter circle.
04 - Cook each tortilla on a hot, dry skillet over medium-high heat for 1 minute per side until lightly browned. Keep covered with a towel to maintain softness.
05 - In a skillet, cook bacon until crispy. Remove, drain, and chop into bite-sized pieces. Wipe out excess grease from skillet.
06 - Melt butter in the same skillet. Add hash browns and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until golden. Season with salt and pepper.
07 - In a bowl, whisk together eggs and whole milk. Pour into skillet with hash browns and scramble gently until just set. Remove from heat and fold in cheddar cheese and bacon.
08 - Place a tortilla flat on your work surface. Spoon about 2 heaping tablespoons of the egg and hash brown mixture in the center. Roll tightly, tucking in ends to form a small burrito. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.
09 - Arrange bites seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly brush with melted butter or coat with cooking spray.
10 - Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until golden and heated through. Serve warm.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • You can make the whole batch on Sunday and reheat them all week without guilt.
  • Homemade tortillas taste nothing like store-bought, and your kitchen will smell incredible while they cook.
  • They freeze beautifully, so breakfast is literally just a few minutes away whenever chaos strikes.
02 -
  • Don't skip squeezing moisture from the thawed hash browns—I learned this the expensive way when a whole batch turned mushy.
  • The tortillas need to be thin, not thick, or the filling won't stay contained and the bites won't bake evenly.
  • Brush them with butter, not oil—butter browns and smells incredible, while oil just sits there.
03 -
  • If the tortillas tear while rolling, just patch them with a small piece of dough—nobody will ever know.
  • Let the egg mixture cool slightly before filling, or the tortillas might get soggy from the heat.
