3-5 strips of bacon
3-4 large potatoes
1 large onion (optional)
1-1 1/2 dozen eggs
1 1/2 - 2 dozen 8" flour tortillas
1-2 lb of shredded cheese
preferred hot sauce, to taste
In a large to very large non stick fry pan, fry the bacon to extra crispy. Finley chop the potatoes and onion while the bacon is frying. Once fried remove the bacon, coarsely chop and transfer to a very large mixing bowl, leave the grease in the fry pan. Fry the potatoes and onion in the bacon grease. The bacon and cheese will have plenty of salt so you don't need to add more and black pepper does not go well with the burritos so don't add it. Once thoroughly cooked transfer the potatoes to the mixing bowl, periodically mix in order to add in cooling and drying of the potatoes. Add hot sauce to the potatoes; remember there will be eggs and cheese added so the potatoes need to have a larger kick than you wish for the final burritos. Scramble the eggs, you should not need any extra fat if you are using a non stick pan. Once cooked add the eggs to the mixing bowl. Mix to cool and dry. Add cheese and mix. Stuff the tortillas and set aside to cool and dry. Once cool, bag and freeze. Note, if they are bagged and frozen while still hot and steamy you will have soggy burritos.
To serve, place frozen on a microwave safe plat and microwave for about one minute on each side and a low to cool.
Note: I find it best to drain off any liquid between microwaving sides.
