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. Drizzle in vegetable oil, then gradually add warm water, mixing 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 thin 6-inch diameter circle.
04 - Heat a dry skillet over medium-high heat. Cook each tortilla for 1 minute per side until lightly browned. Keep covered with a towel to maintain softness.
05 - Cook bacon in a skillet until crispy. Remove, drain on paper towels, then chop into bite-sized pieces. Wipe out excess grease from skillet.
06 - Melt butter in the same skillet. Add hash browns and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown. Season with salt and pepper.
07 - In a bowl, whisk eggs and milk together. Pour into skillet with hash browns and scramble gently until just set. Remove from heat, then fold in cheddar cheese and bacon.
08 - Place a tortilla on a work surface. Add about 2 heaping tablespoons of the egg mixture in the center. Roll tightly, tucking in ends to form bite-sized burritos. Repeat with all tortillas and filling.
09 - Arrange breakfast bites seam-side down on baking sheet. Lightly brush with melted butter or spray with cooking spray.
10 - Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until golden and heated through. Serve warm.

# Expert Insights:

01 -
  • Mixing everything from scratch comes together faster than you would think and the payoff is huge
  • These freeze beautifully and reheat like a dream for busy weekday mornings
  • The homemade tortillas make these feel special but the technique is surprisingly forgiving
02 -
  • Roll the tortillas thin because thick spots stay doughy and do not bake through evenly
  • Let the filling cool slightly before rolling or the tortillas will get soggy and tear
  • Do not overfill the bites or they will burst open in the oven and make a mess
03 -
  • Keep a damp paper towel over the tortillas as you work so they do not dry out and crack
  • Use kitchen shears to snip the cooked bacon into pieces instead of a knife to save time
  • Let the bites rest for 5 minutes after baking so the filling sets and they are easier to handle
