Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 4 large flour tortillas (burrito size)
- 4 small corn tostadas or crispy round tortilla chips
- 4 large eggs
- ½ pound breakfast sausage or bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup frozen hash browns, cooked until crispy
- ¼ cup sour cream
- ¼ cup salsa (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon butter or oil for cooking
Optional Extras
- Diced jalapeños
- Hot sauce
- Chopped green onions
Instructions
- Scramble the Eggs: Crack the eggs into a bowl, season with salt and pepper, then scramble them in a skillet over medium heat until fully cooked. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Prepare Tortillas: Warm the flour tortillas slightly to make them pliable and easier to fold without tearing.
- Assemble the Crunchwrap: Lay one tortilla flat on a surface. In the center, add a layer of scrambled eggs, followed by cooked sausage or bacon, crispy hash browns, shredded cheddar cheese, and a dollop of sour cream. Place a small corn tostada or a handful of crispy round tortilla chips on top of the fillings. Add salsa if you like.
- Fold the Tortilla: Carefully fold the edges of the tortilla up and over the fillings in pleats to create a wrap that fully encloses the contents, pressing gently to seal.
- Cook the Crunchwrap: Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt a little butter or oil. Place the crunchwrap seam-side down in the skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the bottom is golden brown and sealed. Flip carefully and cook the other side until it is crisp and the cheese inside has melted.
- Repeat and Serve: Repeat the assembly and cooking process with the remaining tortillas and fillings. Serve your breakfast crunchwraps warm, optionally garnished with diced jalapeños, hot sauce, or chopped green onions.
Notes
- Customize with your favorite ingredients such as sautéed vegetables or avocado slices for added nutrition and flavor.
- For a vegetarian or dairy-free option, substitute sausage with plant-based sausage and cheddar cheese with dairy-free cheese.
- Adjust seasoning to taste and add more salsa or hot sauce if you prefer a spicier crunchwrap.
- Make sure to warm tortillas well so they fold easily without cracking.
