Ingredients:

  • 2 large potatoes, diced
  • 4 large eggs

  • 4 sausage links
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your favorite blend)
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 1/2 cup chipotle aioli
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Olive oil for cooking

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Potatoes:

    • Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
    • Add the diced potatoes, season with salt and pepper, and cook until golden brown and crispy, about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
    • Remove the potatoes from the skillet and set aside.

  2. Cook the Bacon and Sausage:

    • In the same skillet, cook the bacon slices until crispy. Remove and place on a paper towel to drain excess fat.
    • Cook the sausage links in the skillet until fully cooked, then slice into bite-sized pieces.

  3. Scramble the Eggs:

    • In a bowl, whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper.
    • Heat a little olive oil in the skillet over medium heat and add the eggs.
    • Scramble the eggs until fully cooked, then remove from heat.

  4. Assemble the Burritos:

    • Lay out the flour tortillas on a flat surface.
    • Spread a tablespoon of chipotle aioli on each tortilla.
    • Divide the browned potatoes, scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, and shredded cheese evenly among the tortillas.

  5. Roll the Burritos:

    • Fold in the sides of each tortilla, then roll up tightly from the bottom to form a burrito.
    • For a crispier burrito, you can toast them in the skillet for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden brown.

  6. Serve:

    • Cut the burritos in half, if desired, and serve with extra chipotle aioli on the side.

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 1 3/4 cups milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • Non-stick spray

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your waffle iron.

    • Plug in your waffle iron to allow it to heat up while you prepare the batter. Lightly spray it with non-stick spray to prevent sticking.

  2. Mix the dry ingredients.

    • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until well combined.

  3. Prepare the wet ingredients.

    • In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.

  4. Combine wet and dry ingredients.

    • Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

  5. Add chocolate chips.

    • Gently fold the chocolate chips into the batter until evenly distributed.

  6. Cook the waffles.

    • Pour the batter onto the preheated waffle iron, using about 1/2 to 3/4 cup of batter per waffle (depending on the size of your waffle iron). Close the lid and cook according to the manufacturer’s instructions, usually for about 3-5 minutes or until the waffles are golden brown and crisp.

  7. Serve.

    • Carefully remove the waffles from the iron and serve immediately with your favorite toppings such as syrup, whipped cream, or fresh fruit.

[et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ theme_builder_area=”post_content” _builder_version=”4.25.1″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.25.1″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column _builder_version=”4.25.1″ _module_preset=”default” type=”4_4″ theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.25.1″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″]

Ingredients:

  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1/2 bell pepper (any color), diced
  • 1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese
  • 1 ripe avocado, sliced
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tbsp olive oil or butter

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Vegetables:

    • Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil or butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
    • Add the chopped onions and diced bell peppers. Sauté until the onions are translucent and the peppers are tender and slightly browned, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

  2. Beat the Eggs:

    • Crack the eggs into a bowl. Add a pinch of salt and black pepper. Beat well until the mixture is smooth and airy.

  3. Cook the Omelette:

    • In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil or butter and heat over medium heat.
    • Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet, swirling to evenly cover the bottom of the skillet.
    • As the eggs begin to set, gently lift the edges with a spatula, and tilt the pan to allow the uncooked egg to flow underneath.

  4. Add Fillings:

    • When the eggs are mostly set but still slightly runny on top, sprinkle the sautéed onions and bell peppers evenly over one half of the omelette.
    • Sprinkle the grated cheddar cheese over the vegetables.

  5. Fold and Serve:

    • Carefully fold the other half of the omelette over the filled side using a spatula.
    • Let it cook for another minute to ensure the cheese melts.
    • Slide the omelette onto a plate.

  6. Add Toppings and Serve:

    • Top the omelette with sliced avocado. Sprinkle a little more salt and black pepper over the avocado for extra flavor.
