Breakfast Crunchwrap

Today, we're making Breakfast Crunchwraps!

Sure, fast food restaurants are a quick and easy solution. But, nothing beats homemade. And, today's recipe is the best proof of that.

So, here's how we're going to build this crunchwrap. We're going to make some homemade hash browns, some creamy eggs, some crispy bacon, and some mashed avocado. Then, we're going to stuff everything inside of a tortilla along with some store bought salsa and cheese. Then we'll fold it up, toast it up in a skillet, and we'll have a crispy pocket of deliciousness ready to devour!

So, let's talk hash browns. We'll start by grating russet potatoes on a box grater, rinsing them REALLY well to wash off as much starch as we can, then tossing them with some salt, pepper, and garlic powder to give them some nice flavor. Then, we'll press them into a skillet with a little oil, and let them cook until they're nice and crispy. Essentially, we're making a giant potato pancake!

For our our egg layer, we're going to make a really basic scrambled egg. We need eggs, cream, seasoning, and my secret ingredient, dried minced onion. That's it! We'll cook them in some butter until they're just set and still soft, then our egg layer is finished.

From here on out, all that's left to do is assemble. To start, we'll take one tortilla and cut out 4 circles which we'll use to help cover the filling when we fold our wraps. Then, we'll divide out our hash browns, our eggs, our bacon, our salsa, our avocado, and some pepperjack cheese; and we'll layer everything right in the center of our tortilla. Next, we'll place our little tortilla circle over the filling. And finally, we'll fold the sides of the tortilla in towards the center to create a hexagon type shape.

Once our crunchwraps are assembled, it's time to toast them in our skillet. We can use the same skillet to make our hash browns, cook our eggs, and toast our crunchwraps; so we're totally being efficient with our dishes. We'll toast our wraps until they're golden brown on the outside, and then it's time to eat!

We're not really doing anything crazy with this breakfast. It's basically a breakfast burrito in a fun shape if you think about it. But, the crispy crunch when you bite into this baby can't be beat. Then on the inside, we have some extra crunch from our potatoes and bacon mixed with our creamy eggs and avocado. And, the salsa swoops it with a little acidity to break up some of the rich fattiness from our other components. It's the perfect balance!
