Ingredients

• Breakfast potatoes or cooked hashbrowns: get them extra crispy for the best crunch Use a well-seasoned brand or freshly made for extra flavor
• Eggs: give protein and richness Look for large pasture-raised eggs for the creamiest texture
• Milk: makes the eggs extra fluffy Use whole milk if possible for more tenderness
• Soft flour tortillas: the super soft kinds make folding easier Choose a brand marked as soft and fresh that bends without cracking
• Shredded cheddar cheese: gives the gooey melt and helps seal the wrap Freshly shredded melts better than pre-packaged and sharp cheddar adds more punch
• Green salsa: brings a tangy kick Opt for a refrigerated green salsa for the brightest flavor but any salsa you love will work

Step-by-Step Instructions

Make the Potatoes:

Roast or pan-fry your breakfast potatoes or hashbrowns until golden brown and crispy then set aside to cool slightly. Crisp potatoes add the signature crunch so take your time here.

Oven-Bake the Eggs:

Crack a dozen eggs directly onto a greased half-sheet pan Add the milk and gently whisk with a fork right in the pan Sprinkle with salt and black pepper to taste Bake at three hundred fifty degrees Fahrenheit for ten to twelve minutes Check by gently pressing the eggs with a fork for firmness They should be set but still soft Let cool for a minute and then cut into twenty equal squares.

Assemble Each Crunchwrap:

Lay a soft flour tortilla flat before you Add two egg squares then a scoop of green salsa Next scoop on some crispy potatoes Finish with two tablespoons of shredded cheddar cheese on top which will melt as they bake and help seal the wrap Closed-tight layers help keep all the good stuff tucked inside.

Fold and Bake:

Fold the tortilla around the filling creasing edge over edge until the wrap is sealed Place wrap seam side down on a greased baking sheet Lay another baking sheet directly on top to press wraps firm so they do not open while baking.

Bake Until Toasty:

Bake the pressed crunchwraps for eight minutes at three hundred fifty degrees Fahrenheit Remove the top pan and continue baking for four to six more minutes until the wraps are crispy and golden brown all over.

Finish and Serve:

Let cool a bit then serve with more green salsa sriracha or your favorite hot sauce These are also delicious once cooled so consider wrapping extras for later

Save

My favorite part is always that golden cheesy edge where the cheddar seals the wrap Sometimes my kids sneak an extra sprinkle of cheese into theirs just to get more of that crunchy goodness One Saturday morning my youngest insisted on folding her own crunchwrap She ended up with a lopsided but delicious masterpiece and has been hooked ever since

Storage Tips

To keep leftovers freshest allow crunchwraps to cool completely before wrapping individually in aluminum foil Store in the fridge for up to three days or the freezer for up to two months For best texture reheat in an air fryer or toaster oven which brings back the signature crispiness but a microwave also works in a pinch

Ingredient Substitutions

Hashbrowns can be swapped for roasted sweet potatoes or even leftover tater tots Try Monterey Jack or pepper jack cheese for a spicier profile and gluten free tortillas for a celiac friendly option For a different flavor add sautéed bell peppers crumbled breakfast sausage or a sprinkle of fresh cilantro before folding

Serving Suggestions

Breakfast Crunchwraps are perfect with fresh fruit slices a dollop of sour cream or a side of avocado Turn it into a brunch spread by cutting each crunchwrap in half for easier sharing and offering an array of hot sauces or salsa flavors at the table
