Ingredients

  • 4 slices bacon
  • 2 medium potatoes (chopped)
  • 1 small onion (chopped)
  • ½ teaspoon Tony Chachere's Creole Seasoning (divided)
  • ½ cup morel mushrooms
  • 1 medium Serrano chile (chopped)
  • 1 clove garlic (minced)
  • 6 large eggs
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 4 flour tortillas (optional)
  • 2 tablespoon sour cream (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro (optional)
  • hot sauce or salsa (optional)

Instructions

  • Begin by chopping the bacon and vegetables. Next, add bacon, onions, and potatoes to a cast-iron skillet or a large nonstick pan. Season with half of the creole seasoning. Cook for 5 to 10 minutes or until the potatoes are beginning to brown and the onions are starting to caramelize.
  • Add Morel mushrooms, serrano pepper, and garlic. Continue to cook over medium heat for another 5 minutes or until bacon is crispy and potatoes are fully cooked.
  • Turn the stove off and add eggs to a measuring cup or a medium bowl. Sprinkle with remaining creole seasoning. Beat eggs vigorously with a whisk or fork for one minute. Turn stove on and set to low to medium-low heat. Pour eggs into the pan and mix to incorporate with other ingredients.
  • Use a spatula to scrape the bottom of the pan and turn the egg mixture to form soft curds. This will also keep the eggs from sticking to the pan or forming a crust. When eggs are almost set, turn the stove off and add cheddar cheese.

How To Make A Breakfast Burrito

  • Char tortilla over an open flame to soften. Spread sour cream into the center of the tortilla and add cheesy scrambled eggs. Add cilantro and salsa or hot sauce. Roll tortilla into a burrito and serve.

Notes

  • If you're looking for high-protein mushrooms, morels are it! Just 3.5 ounces of morel mushrooms contain 3 grams of protein.
  • Breakfast burritos can be frozen for up to a few months. When you're ready to eat the burritos, thaw in the refrigerator overnight, then microwave for one to two minutes.
  • Don't skip whisking the eggs for one full minute. Incorporating air into the eggs makes them nice and fluffy.
  • If you like buttery eggs you can melt one tablespoon of butter (or more) in the pan before adding the eggs.
  • Veggies of choice can be added at the same time you add the mushrooms.
