Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp. butter
  • 1 1/2 cups creamer or baby red potatoes diced
  • 1 cup shishito peppers seeded and diced
  • 1/2 cup red onion diced
  • 6 eggs
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 6 whole wheat tortillas 8 inch

Instructions

  • Add butter to a skillet and heat over medium heat.
  • Once the butter has melted, pat the potatoes dry and add to the pan.
  • Season with salt and pepper. Then, cover and leave the potatoes undisturbed for about 5 minutes. Uncover the potatoes and stir.
  • Add peppers and onions to the pan and cook until onions have softened and peppers have begun to blister.
  • Remove the mixture from the skillet and place on a paper towel lined plate.
  • Beat eggs in a bowl and season with salt and pepper. Add to the skillet and cook until they start to set.
  • Add the potato mixture back into the pan and scramble.
  • Remove from heat and begin filling the tortillas.
  • Spoon a little mixture into the middle of a tortilla. Fold end and roll up. Repeat until all tortillas are filled.
  • Heat skillet on medium-low. Place burritos, one at a time, into the pan. Warm on each side until they're golden brown.
  • Serve the burritos with salsa or hot sauce.
  • If freezing, allow the burritos to cool completely. Then, wrap in foil or plastic wrap and freeze in a freezer bag.

Notes

I'm trying to cut back on the dairy again, so I didn't add cheese.  But if you wish to make these a cheesy breakfast burrito, I would suggest using shredded cheddar or Jack cheese.
