Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 2 cups cooked, diced chicken
- 4 large eggs
- 2 cups frozen hash browns
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Optional toppings: salsa, avocado, sour cream
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Add the frozen hash browns, seasoning them with salt and pepper. Cook until golden and crispy, about 5-7 minutes.
- While the hash browns are cooking, beat the eggs in a bowl with a pinch of salt and pepper. Pour into a separate pan and scramble until fully cooked.
- On each tortilla, layer the crispy hash browns, scrambled eggs, diced chicken, and shredded cheese.
- Roll each tortilla into burritos, tucking in the ends to secure the filling.
- If desired, grill the burritos in a skillet for about a minute on each side for added crispiness.
- Serve warm, or wrap in foil and freeze for quick meals later.
Notes
For fluffier scrambled eggs, whisk in a splash of milk or cream. Tightly wrap burritos if freezing to maintain quality.
