Ingredients
  

  • 10 eggs
  • 3/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons chipotle chiles in adobo finely chopped
  • 20 ounces diced potatoes with onion such as Simply Potatoes brand
  • 6 flour tortillas large size
  • salt and pepper to taste

Equipment

  • Skillet
  • Non-stick pan
  • Mixing bowl

Method
 

  1. Cook the diced potatoes with onion according to package directions until golden brown and crispy on the edges.
  2. While potatoes are cooking, prepare the chipotle mayo by combining mayonnaise with finely chopped chipotle chiles in adobo in a small bowl. Mix well.
  3. Heat a non-stick pan over medium-low heat. Crack and whisk eggs in a bowl until well combined.
  4. Pour the whisked eggs into the heated pan. Let them set for about a minute, then gently lift the edges with a spatula, allowing uncooked egg to flow underneath.
  5. Continue this process until the eggs are just set but still slightly moist. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Lay out the flour tortillas and spread a generous layer of chipotle mayo on each one.
  7. Divide the scrambled eggs and crispy potatoes evenly among the tortillas.
  8. To wrap each burrito, fold in the sides, then roll from the bottom up, tucking in the filling as you go.

Notes

These burritos are perfect for meal prep - make a batch, wrap individually in foil, and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave for 1-2 minutes or in a 350°F oven for 10-15 minutes.
For a customized burrito, try adding cheese, avocado slices, black beans, or crispy bacon. Adjust the amount of chipotle peppers to control the spice level.
Serve with fresh fruit, avocado salad, or a cooling beverage like horchata to balance the smoky heat.
