Method
 

Step‑By‑Step Instructions
  1. Cook the Bacon: In a large skillet, heat over medium heat and add bacon in batches, cooking for about 4–5 minutes until crispy and golden brown. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels, keeping 2 tablespoons of the rendered fat in the skillet.
  2. Prepare Hash Browns: In the reserved bacon fat, increase heat to medium-high and add frozen hash browns. Cook for about 5–7 minutes until golden and crispy, then cover to keep warm.
  3. Scramble Eggs: Whisk together large eggs and milk in a bowl. Melt unsalted butter in the skillet over medium-low heat, then pour in the egg mixture. Stir gently for about 3–4 minutes, seasoning with salt and pepper before finishing.
  4. Assemble Burritos: Warm tortillas in the microwave for 15–20 seconds. Lay each tortilla flat and layer on hash browns, eggs, bacon, avocado, and cheese. Roll tightly to seal.
  5. Serve or Store: Serve warm with hot sauce or salsa. If making ahead, wrap burritos in plastic wrap and foil for freezing.
