Ingredients
Method
Techniques
  • 2 strips bacon
Lay the bacon strips in a cold non-stick pan and set the heat between medium and medium-high.
Cook until the surface goes fully foamy with tiny white bubbles, meaning most of the fat has rendered and the bacon is crisp; turn off the heat and remove to a plate.
  • cubed potatoes
  • kosher salt
  • freshly ground black pepper
  • cayenne
Add cubed potatoes to the bacon fat over medium-high heat and season with kosher salt, black pepper and a few shakes of cayenne.
Cook, tossing occasionally with a spatula, until browned and crispy outside and tender inside; check with a fork.
  • onions
  • peppers
Add the onions and peppers and cook a couple of minutes, until they just start to wilt and soften.
Optionally transfer to a strainer so excess bacon fat drains off.
  • cheddar cheese
Over medium heat, put two strips of bacon back in the pan, then half the potato mixture spread evenly, then a handful of cheddar.
Building the burrito in the pan
  • 2 whole large eggs
Pour two beaten eggs over, spreading them evenly with the spatula or by tilting the pan.
  • 1 whole flour tortilla
Press one large flour tortilla lightly on top and cook one minute; after about 45 seconds run the spatula around to check the egg is firm and not sticking.
The flip
Flip, reposition if needed, and cook the tortilla side a couple more minutes until brown and crispy.
Transfer to a plate and roll it up while hot, tucking back any escaping filling.
Rolling it up
  • hot sauce
  • diced avocado
  • salt
  • lime juice
  • sour cream
  • homegrown cilantro leaves
Top with hot sauce, diced avocado tossed with salt and lime juice, a dollop of sour cream and cilantro leaves.
