# How to Make It:

01 - Set oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Combine flour and salt in a large bowl; drizzle in vegetable oil, then gradually add warm water, stirring until soft dough forms. Knead 3 to 4 minutes until smooth. Divide into 12 equal portions, cover, and let rest for 10 minutes.
03 - On a floured surface, roll each dough ball into thin 6-inch circles.
04 - Heat a dry skillet over medium-high heat and cook each tortilla for 1 minute per side until lightly browned. Keep covered with a towel to maintain softness.
05 - Cook bacon in skillet until crispy, then drain and chop into bite-sized pieces. Remove excess grease from skillet.
06 - Melt butter in skillet, add thawed hash browns, and cook for 5 to 7 minutes until golden brown, stirring occasionally. Season with salt and black pepper.
07 - Whisk eggs with whole milk, pour into skillet with hash browns, and scramble gently until just set. Remove from heat and fold in shredded cheddar and chopped bacon.
08 - Place a tortilla on the work surface, add approximately 2 heaping tablespoons of the filling in the center, then roll tightly, tucking in ends to form a bite-sized wrap. Repeat for all tortillas and filling.
09 - Arrange bites seam-side down on the baking sheet and brush lightly with melted butter or spray with cooking spray.
10 - Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until golden and heated through. Serve warm.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • They're genuinely fun to make and even more fun to eat—like breakfast finger food that actually tastes homemade.
  • Everything bakes together, so you're not juggling five pans at once.
  • They reheat beautifully, which means grab-and-go mornings become realistic instead of a dream.
02 -
  • Don't skip the rest time for the dough—those 10 minutes let the gluten relax, making rolling infinitely easier and less frustrating.
  • Squeeze out every bit of moisture from the thawed hash browns or the filling becomes wet and the bites fall apart during baking.
  • If your tortillas crack while rolling, they're too cool; cover them with a towel to keep them warm and pliable.
03 -
  • Keep your tortillas under a warm towel after cooking them so they stay pliable enough to roll without cracking or tearing.
  • The hash browns are the wildcard ingredient—truly squeeze them dry before cooking, or your bites will end up soggy and disappointing.
