Prep checklist
Potato — small dice
Cheddar — grated
Avocado — sliced
Cilantro — chopped
4 steps
Method
1
Crisp the bacon in a skillet; set aside. Fry the diced potato in the bacon fat until golden and tender, 8–10 minutes.
9 min — timer available in cooking mode
2
Soft-scramble the eggs over low heat, pulling them off while still glossy.
Why this works
They keep cooking inside the burrito — undercook slightly now for perfect later.
3
Warm the tortillas, then layer cheese first (so it melts against the eggs), then eggs, potatoes, bacon, avocado, sour cream, and hot sauce.
4
Fold in the sides, roll tightly, and griddle seam-side down 1–2 minutes until sealed and blistered.
2 min — timer available in cooking mode
Why this works
The griddle seal is what keeps a burrito from unrolling in your hands.

Chef's notes
Taste before serving and adjust salt and acid — the last 30 seconds of seasoning matter more than any single ingredient.
Afterwards
Keep, reheat & pair
Storage
Best fresh; components keep 2 days refrigerated.
Freezing
A meal-prep hero: wrap in foil and freeze up to 2 months. Reheat wrapped at 180°C for 25 minutes.
Reheating
A low oven (150°C, 8–10 minutes) revives baked things; a nonstick pan over medium-low beats the microwave for anything with a crisp edge.
Make ahead
Prep components the night before — batters rest happily overnight in the fridge, and toppings can be portioned into jars.
Wine pairing
Coffee or fresh juice — it's breakfast.
Beer pairing
It's breakfast — coffee. But a mimosa never hurt a weekend.
