Ingredients
Tortilla and Wrap Components
- 8 flour tortillas
- 4 smaller flour tortillas (cut from 4 large tortillas, about 5 inches in diameter each)
Egg Mixture
- 8 eggs
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
Protein
- 4 slices bacon (or turkey bacon for lower calories)
Vegetables and Cheese
- 1/2 red pepper, diced
- 2 green onions, sliced
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, grated
Other
- 4 hash brown patties
- Olive oil (for sautéing veggies)
- Cooking spray (for hash browns and grilling crunchwraps)
Instructions
- Cook Bacon: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook the bacon slices until crispy, approximately 4 minutes per side. Remove from heat and set aside to cool, then crumble. Keep the bacon fat in the pan for cooking the eggs.
- Sauté Vegetables: In a separate skillet, add a bit of olive oil and sauté diced red pepper and sliced green onions with a pinch of salt and pepper over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until just tender. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Cook Hash Browns: Spray a large skillet with cooking spray and cook hash brown patties over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes on each side until they turn golden and crispy. Remove from heat and keep warm.
- Scramble Eggs: In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, salt, and pepper. Cook the eggs in the skillet with the reserved bacon fat over medium heat for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally until scrambled and fully set. Remove from heat.
- Prepare Small Tortillas: Stack 4 large tortillas and cut them into smaller circles about 5 inches in diameter using scissors. These will be used as the middle layer in the crunchwraps.
- Assemble Crunchwraps: On 4 of the large tortillas, evenly divide and layer the scrambled eggs, grated cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, and sautéed veggies. Top each with a crispy hash brown patty and then place a smaller tortilla circle on top of the hash brown.
- Fold and Grill: Fold the edges of the large tortilla over the smaller tortilla and fillings, creating a sealed wrap. Spray a clean large skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium heat.
- Cook Crunchwraps: Carefully flip each folded crunchwrap upside down into the hot skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until the wraps are lightly browned and crispy. Flip gently to avoid unwrapping. Repeat with remaining crunchwraps.
- Serve: Cut each crunchwrap in half and serve immediately while warm and melty. Enjoy your homemade breakfast crunchwraps!
Notes
- You can substitute turkey bacon for a leaner option.
- Sautéeing the vegetables adds extra flavor but can be omitted to simplify.
- The smaller tortilla inside helps keep the crispiness of the hash browns intact without sogginess.
- Cook on medium heat to avoid burning the tortilla before the inside is heated through.
- Leftover crunchwraps can be reheated in a skillet or air fryer for best texture retention.
