California Burrito Recipe
Breakfast Burritos can be enjoyed fresh and hot or saved in the freezer for an easy make-ahead breakfast. You can make these Breakfast Burritos recipe California Style with French Fries, bacon and cheesy scrambled eggs, or I've included all sorts of ways to customize your burritos from roasted potatoes, hash browns or tater tots, to sausage or ham. But anyway you serve them, I promise they will be bursting with loads of flavor, a delightful crispy toasted exterior and ooey gooey cheesy center and the BEST Creamy Salsa Sauce!

📝 Preparation Steps
1
Preheat oven to 400 degrees and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil; spray with non-stick cooking spray. Cut the potatoes into thin fries and toss with French fry ingredients in a large bowl until evenly coated. Spread potatoes evenly over prepared foil and bake for ⏱️ 20-25 minutes, or until tender, then broil fries until golden and crispy.
2
Meanwhile, (working in 2 batches), lay bacon in a cool, large non-stick skillet. Heat over medium-low heat and cook, flipping occasionally until very crispy. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels. Chop into bite-sized pieces when cooled. Drain all but 1 tablespoon grease from pan.
3
Prepare salsa by mixing all of the salsa ingredients together. Store in the fridge.
4
In the same bowl you mixed your fries (there will be some fry spice left), whisk together eggs, onions, bell peppers, green chiles, milk, salt, chili powder, pepper, and hot sauce. Add eggs to the now empty bacon skillet and cook over medium-low heat. When eggs are almost set, stir in cheese, tomatoes, cilantro and bacon and finish cooking eggs, ⏱️ 30 seconds or so - don’t overcook!

5
Assemble burritos by spreading some sour cream down the center of the tortilla then topping with eggs and French fries. For cheesier burritos (I HIGHLY recommend) top with desired amount of extra cheese. Roll tortillas up burrito style.

To sear the burritos for a golden crunch: Heat 1/2 tablespoon oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat and place half of the burritos seam side down in the skillet. Cook until golden brown, approximately ⏱️ 1-2 minutes, and then flip and cook other side until golden brown. Repeat with remaining burritos.
