Loaded Baked Potato Breakfast Burritos

These loaded baked potato breakfast potatoes bring together two of my family's favorite dishes and merge them into one delicious breakfast.

This breakfast burrito has all of the components of twice-baked potato, including cheddar cheese, bacon, chives, butter, and a delicious sour cream sauce. 

These burritos are easy to make and can easily be reheated for later. 

Ingredients and Notes:

Flour Tortillas: You will need 12-inch burrito-sized tortillas. They should be fairly thin. Before assembling the burrito, heat the tortilla on both sides on a griddle to soften it and warm it through. My favorite brand is Guerrero. 

Shredded Cheddar Cheese: I used a combination of cheddars that I had on hand. Colby Jack cheese would be good too. 

Bacon: I used natural thick-cut bacon, but standard bacon is also delicious in these. You can cook the bacon in advance and reheat it briefly in the microwave before assembling the burrito. 

Freshly Chopped Chives, Salt, and Black Pepper: You won't need much salt because of the salt in the bacon and cheese. I was pretty generous with the black pepper.

Potatoes: I used Tater-Tot Crowns, which are simply flatter Tater-Tots. You can easily use regular Tater Tots or even French fries. Just cook the potatoes according the directions on the package and then roll them up in the burrito. 

Sour Cream Sauce: The sauce includes butter, flour, sour cream, chicken broth, garlic powder, and onion powder. You can make it in advance and reheat it for the burritos. You can also make extra for dipping.

Finally, you will need to make some scrambled eggs. I like to cook them low and slow, kind of like a frittata so that I can cut them into strips for the burritos. 

Make-Ahead:

You can assemble these breakfast burritos in advance and keep them overnight in the refrigerator before reheating. I like to microwave them for about a minute or two and then finish heating them in a 350 degree F oven. 

You can also freeze these burritos. Thaw them overnight in the refrigerator and proceed with reheating.
