# How-to:

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

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • They're crispy on the outside, creamy on the inside, and taste nothing like a rushed breakfast.
  • You can make a batch on Sunday and reheat them in the toaster oven without losing that golden texture.
  • Your hands stay clean eating them, which somehow makes breakfast feel less messy and more intentional.
02 -
  • If your tortillas tear while rolling, gently pinch them back together—a tiny crack will seal shut during cooking and no one will ever know.
  • Don't skip thawing the hash browns; frozen ones release water into your filling and make it soggy instead of creamy.
03 -
  • Roll your tortillas slightly thinner than you think you need to—they puff a little in the oven and you want them tender, not chewy.
  • Don't skip the 10-minute rest on the dough; it makes everything easier and tastes better because the gluten has time to relax.
