Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Cook the Bacon: Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add thick-cut bacon in batches, frying for about 8 minutes or until crispy and golden. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain.
  2. Cook the Hash Browns: In the same skillet, retain a couple of tablespoons of bacon fat. Heat over medium heat, then add frozen hash browns, cooking for about 5-7 minutes until crispy.
  3. Cook the Eggs: Whisk together large eggs and half-and-half in a bowl. Heat unsalted butter in the skillet over medium-low heat, pour in the egg mixture, and stir gently until soft curds form, about 4-5 minutes. Season with paprika, salt, and pepper.
  4. Assemble the Burritos: Lay out flour tortillas and layer in each: crispy hash browns, scrambled eggs, cheddar, mozzarella, and crumbled bacon, leaving space on the edges.
  5. Grill the Burritos: Brush each burrito with reserved bacon fat. Grill in the skillet over medium heat for about 2 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
