Crispy hash browns, savory bacon, and cheddar wrapped in soft homemade tortillas, baked until golden.

# What You'll Need:

→ Homemade Tortillas

01 - 2 cups all-purpose flour
02 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
03 - 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
04 - 3/4 cup warm water

→ Filling

05 - 1 1/2 cups frozen shredded hash browns, thawed
06 - 6 slices bacon
07 - 6 large eggs
08 - 1/2 cup whole milk
09 - 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
10 - 2 tablespoons butter
11 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
12 - 1/8 teaspoon black pepper

→ Assembly

13 - Cooking spray or melted butter (for brushing)

# How to Make It:

01 - Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Add vegetable oil and gradually mix in warm water until a soft dough forms. Knead for 3 to 4 minutes until smooth. Divide into 12 equal balls, cover, and let rest for 10 minutes.
03 - On a floured surface, roll each dough ball into a 6-inch diameter thin circle.
04 - Cook each tortilla on a hot, dry skillet over medium-high heat for 1 minute per side until lightly browned. Keep tortillas covered with a towel to maintain softness.
05 - In a skillet, cook bacon until crispy. Remove, drain excess grease, and chop into bite-sized pieces. Wipe out excess grease from skillet.
06 - Melt butter in the skillet. Add hash browns and sauté for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally until golden brown. Season with salt and pepper.
07 - Whisk together eggs and milk in a bowl. Pour into skillet with hash browns and scramble gently until just set. Remove from heat and fold in shredded cheddar cheese and chopped bacon.
08 - Place one tortilla on work surface. Spoon approximately 2 heaping tablespoons of egg mixture into center. Roll tightly, tucking in ends to form a small burrito. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.
09 - Place assembled bites seam-side down on prepared baking sheet. Lightly brush with melted butter or spray with cooking spray.
10 - Bake bites for 10 to 12 minutes until golden and heated through. Serve warm.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • They're crispy outside, tender and loaded inside, and somehow taste like you spent hours cooking when it's really just 50 minutes.
  • Make a batch on Sunday and your weekday mornings feel like a luxury instead of a rush.
  • They freeze beautifully and reheat faster than you can brew coffee.
02 -
  • Thaw those hash browns completely and squeeze them dry—wet hash browns will make your bites soggy and sad, and no amount of baking can fix that.
  • Don't overfill; it's tempting to cram in as much as possible, but 2 tablespoons is the sweet spot for even cooking and a bite that holds together.
03 -
  • If your tortillas are tearing when you roll them, they're not warm enough—freshly cooked tortillas are more pliable, and they become brittle as they cool.
  • The secret to tender, fluffy scrambled eggs is cooking them at medium heat, not high, and removing them from the pan while they still look slightly underdone.
