Instructions
- Prepare Potatoes: Peel and cut Yukon Gold potatoes into bite-sized pieces. Place in cold salted water with a splash of vinegar. Bring to a boil and cook until fully cooked but not falling apart.
- Dry and Fry Potatoes: Drain potatoes and spread on a rimmed baking sheet to dry and cool, allowing steam to escape. Heat about 1/4 cup corn oil in a pan to shallow fry the potatoes. Fry without moving until golden brown, then toss to brown all sides. Add sliced onions and a pinch of kosher salt, cook until onions brown slightly.
- Cook Bacon: In a separate pan, fry 5 strips of thin bacon over medium heat, flipping frequently to render fat evenly and achieve crispy texture.
- Make Scrambled Eggs: Beat 4 large eggs with a pinch of salt and a splash of water until smooth. Melt about 2 tablespoons Danish creary butter in a cold pan over medium-low heat. Cook eggs gently with occasional stirring to form large soft curds without browning.
- Prepare Avocado Salsa: In a blender or food processor, combine avocado, juice of 1 lime, 1 large seeded and deveined jalapeno, a small amount of cilantro, salt to taste, and a splash of water to thin. Optionally add about 1 tablespoon ancho chili powder for deeper flavor and heat. Blend until smooth and pourable.
- Toast Tortilla and Melt Cheese: Warm a large flour tortilla on a hot griddle just until pliable. Toast one side lightly. Add a mixture of shredded cheddar and pepper jack cheese on the warm tortilla to melt slightly.
- Assemble Burrito: Place scrambled eggs on the tortilla, then add crispy bacon, potato hash with onions, chunks of avocado, and a spoonful of avocado salsa. Fold sides in and roll tightly.
- Finish Burrito: Place burrito seam-side down on griddle and press to seal. Toast until golden and crispy on both sides. Let rest for about 1 minute to soften tortilla slightly.
