Did you know?

Meal prep is older than refrigerators! Ancient Romans “prepped” by making large batches of beans, grains, and stews that could safely sit at room temperature by using olive oil as a natural preservative! Isn’t that wild?!

What ingredients do I need for this?

Bacon
Eggs
Large Tortillas
Frozen Hashbrowns
Shredded Cheddar
Onion
Garlic
Butter
Milk
Hot Sauce
Cilantro
Salt
Black Pepper
Italian Seasoning

How do I make it?

To make the filling:

In a large skillet, cook bacon on medium heat until crispy.

Remove bacon from pan and place on a paper towel lined plate. Once cooled, crumble. Reserve bacon grease.

In the same skillet, cook hashbrowns in grease on medium, flipping halfway through. Season with some salt and pepper, and when crispy, remove from heat.

In a small bowl, whisk eggs and milk until combined. Next, in a separate skillet, melt butter on medium low. Add onion and cook until translucent. Then add garlic and cook until fragrant.

Tips:

  • You can mix whatever veggies you want into these! Mushrooms would be good, bell peppers, jalapeรฑos!
  • These burritos are perfect for meal prep! Toss these bad boys in an airtight container in the freezer and they’ll keep for up to 3 months. You can also individually wrap them in saran wrap, then aluminum foil, and then take them out as you want them. Heat by nuking it in the microwave for 1-2 minutes per side!
