Instructions
- Prepare the tater tots according to the package directions and set them aside.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the bacon until desired crispness. Drain and chop it, then pour off excess bacon fat. Add the sausage, jalapeno, and onion, breaking up the meat, and cook until done, about 6 to 7 minutes.
- In a bowl whisk the eggs and milk, seasoning with salt and pepper. Melt the butter in a nonstick skillet, add the egg mixture, cook over medium-low just until cooked, and remove from heat while the eggs are still tender.
- In the middle of a flour tortilla add cheese, scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, jalapenos, onions, tater tots, fresh tomatoes, and cilantro. Tuck in the sides and roll up the tortilla.
- Place the burritos seam-side down, cover with a damp paper towel, and microwave for a few seconds to melt the cheese.
- For reheating, wrap a burrito in a damp paper towel and microwave for 1 minute, or heat it in a skillet or 350°F oven until heated through.
