Breakfast Crunchwrap Hack (Printable)

A quick, portable morning meal with eggs, cheese, crispy hash browns, and folded tortilla layers.

# What You'll Need:

→ Eggs & Dairy

01 - 2 large eggs
02 - 2 tablespoons milk
03 - 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

→ Tortillas & Fillings

04 - 2 large (10-inch) flour tortillas
05 - 1/2 cup frozen hash browns, thawed
06 - 2 slices cooked bacon or 2 breakfast sausage patties (optional; vegetarian alternatives available)
07 - 1/4 cup salsa

→ Seasonings & Oil

08 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
09 - 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
10 - 2 teaspoons butter or oil

# Step-by-step Directions:

01 - In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
02 - Heat 1 teaspoon butter or oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add thawed hash browns and cook until golden and crispy, approximately 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
03 - Using the same skillet, pour in the egg mixture and cook over medium heat, gently stirring until eggs are just set. Remove from heat.
04 - Warm each flour tortilla briefly in the microwave (about 10 seconds) or in a dry skillet until pliable.
05 - Place a tortilla on a flat surface. Imagine dividing it into four quadrants and make a single cut from the center to the edge closest to you.
06 - Spread scrambled eggs on the bottom left quadrant, hash browns on the bottom right, bacon or sausage on the top right (if using), and sprinkle shredded cheese on the top left. Spoon salsa over desired fillings.
07 - Fold the bottom left section (eggs) over the top left (cheese), then fold over to cover the top right (meat), and finally fold down over the bottom right (hash browns) to form a layered triangle-shaped wrap.
08 - Heat remaining butter or oil in the skillet over medium heat. Place the folded wrap seam-side down and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side until golden brown and crisp.
09 - Serve immediately, optionally accompanied by extra salsa.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It's genuinely portable—you can eat it with one hand while doing literally anything else.
  • Everything gets crispy on the outside and stays warm on the inside, which is the dream texture combination.
  • You can swap flavors around without breaking the basic formula, so it never gets boring.
02 -
  • The tortilla cut from center to edge is essential—without it, you're fighting the geometry and it won't fold cleanly into a triangle.
  • Thaw your hash browns and pat them dry before cooking, otherwise they'll steam instead of crisp up.
03 -
  • Use a sharp knife when making that center cut in the tortilla—a dull knife will tear the dough instead of slicing cleanly through it.
  • Warm tortillas are absolutely crucial; cold ones will crack when you fold, so don't skip this step even if you're in a hurry.
