Scale

For the sweet potato hash:

  • 12 tablespoons olive oil or butter

  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • Spices of choice: I did smoked paprika, chili powder, onion powder and cumin!

Scrambled eggs + bacon:

  • 8 eggs
  • 1/3 cup cottage cheese
  • sea salt and black pepper to taste

For assembly:

Instructions

Prepare the Sweet Potato Hash:

  1. Heat olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Stir in the diced sweet potatoes and cook for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are fork-tender.
  4. Add the minced garlic and spices, stirring to combine. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  5. Remove from heat and set aside.

Cook the Scrambled Eggs & Bacon:

  1. In the same skillet, cook the turkey bacon until crispy, then remove and set aside.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, cottage cheese, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and cook over low heat, stirring gently until the eggs are fluffy and cooked through.
  4. Stir the cooked turkey bacon back into the eggs.
  5. Remove from heat and set aside.

Assemble the Breakfast Burritos:

  1. Lay out the tortillas on a clean surface.
  2. Evenly distribute the sweet potato hash and scrambled egg mixture among the tortillas.
  3. Add any optional ingredients like salsa, shredded cheese, or minced herbs.
  4. Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it up tightly to secure the fillings.
