# 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

# Directions:

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 mix in warm water until a soft dough forms. Knead dough 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 circle.
04 - Cook each tortilla on a hot, dry skillet over medium-high heat for 1 minute per side until lightly browned. Cover with a towel to keep warm and soft.
05 - Cook bacon in a skillet until crispy. Drain on paper towels and chop into bite-sized pieces. Remove 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. Season with salt and pepper.
07 - Whisk eggs and milk together. Pour into skillet with hash browns and gently scramble until eggs are just set. Remove from heat and fold in cheddar cheese and bacon.
08 - Place a tortilla on your work surface and spoon about 2 heaping tablespoons of the egg mixture onto the center. Roll up tightly, tucking in the ends to form a compact bite. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.
09 - Arrange the bites seam-side down on the prepared 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 Advice:

01 -
  • They're crispy on the outside, creamy and savory on the inside, and honestly taste like you spent way more time than you actually did.
  • Make them on Sunday and grab them all week, or bake them fresh when you want that golden-warm comfort without the fuss.
  • The homemade tortillas elevate everything—store-bought just doesn't compare once you taste the difference.
02 -
  • Don't skip the rest period for your dough balls—those 10 minutes make the tortillas dramatically easier to roll without tearing.
  • Squeeze every drop of moisture from the thawed hash browns or your filling will be soggy and slide right out of the tortillas.
  • Roll the tortillas thin enough that they're pliable but thick enough to hold up to rolling; this comes down to feel, and you'll nail it by the third one.
03 -
  • If your tortillas tear while rolling, lay a piece of plastic wrap over the torn spot and gently press; it's invisible once baked and nobody will ever know.
  • Cook the bacon in the oven at 400°F for 15 minutes on a lined baking sheet instead of the stovetop for perfectly crispy, evenly cooked strips with zero babysitting required.
