Equipment

  • cast-iron skillet

Ingredients
  

  • 16 strips bacon
  • 1 16 ounce package frozen hash browns
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 8 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup half-and-half
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • to taste hot sauce for serving

Instructions
 

  • In a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat, fry the bacon strips in batches until perfectly crispy, around 8 minutes per batch.
  • Once done, place the bacon on paper towels to soak up excess grease and reserve about 2 tablespoons of the bacon fat in the skillet.
  • Utilizing the saved bacon fat, cook the hash browns according to the package directions until they turn golden brown and crispy. Transfer to a plate.
  • In a separate bowl, beat the eggs along with the half-and-half until well mixed.
  • Clean the skillet and melt the butter over medium heat. Once it begins to foam, add the egg mixture, reducing the heat to medium-low.
  • Gently stir the eggs with a spatula while cooking until soft curds have formed, seasoning with paprika, salt, and pepper to taste.

For Assembling:

  • Lay the tortillas flat and in the center of each, layer the hash browns, one-fourth of the scrambled eggs, a quarter cup of both cheddar and mozzarella cheeses, along with four strips of bacon.
  • Fold the shorter sides of the tortilla inwards, then roll it up tightly to encase all the fillings.
  • Serve the burritos warm with your favorite hot sauce for a spicy kick.
