Description

These Breakfast Burrito Bowls pack all the flavors of a classic burrito into an easy-to-assemble bowl. Made with crispy potatoes, scrambled eggs, smoky bacon, and fresh toppings, theyโ€™re a hearty and customizable breakfast option perfect for busy mornings or weekend brunch.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 medium russet potatoes, diced
  • 4 slices bacon, cooked and chopped
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 avocado, sliced
  • 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
  • 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
  • Salsa or hot sauce, for serving

Instructions

  1. Cook the Potatoes
    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add diced potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden and crispy. Season with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.
  2. Prepare the Bacon
    In a separate pan, cook the bacon until crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and chop into small pieces.
  3. Scramble the Eggs
    Whisk eggs with a splash of milk and cook over medium-low heat, stirring gently until just set. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Assemble the Bowls
    Divide the potatoes, eggs, and bacon into bowls. Sprinkle cheese over the eggs while warm. Add diced tomatoes, avocado slices, cilantro, and a drizzle of salsa or hot sauce.

Notes

  • Substitute bacon with chorizo, sausage, or a vegetarian option like mushrooms or black beans.
  • For a lower-carb version, use roasted sweet potatoes or cauliflower.
  • Dairy-free? Use plant-based cheese or omit it.
