BREAKFAST BURRITOS

Good cooks know the word: Shred

When shredding, you push food across the large holes of a box grater which cuts the food into long strips. Each hole on the grater acts as a sharp blade. Always place the box grater on a flat surface. While one person holds the grater in place, the other can shred the food.

INGREDIENTS:

1 baking potato cooked

3 Tablespoons cooking oil such as canola oil

3 eggs

1 Tablespoon of milk

1 Pinch of salt

2 ozs shredded Cheddar cheese (about ½ cup)

2 nine-inch flour tortillas

TOOLS:

1 box grater

1 medium frying pan

1 spatula or turner

1 medium mixing bowl

1 whisk

Dry measuring cups

OPTIONAL INGREDIENTS:

Chopped green chile

Diced red or green bell pepper

Bacon

Ham

DIRECTIONS:

1. Wash your paws.
2. Read your recipe.
3. Gather your ingredients and tools.
4. Sing a little song and start to cook!
5. Wash and scrub the baking potato. Microwave the potato using the baked potato setting or for 3-5 minutes and let cool. This can be done the night before and is also a great way to use leftover baked potatoes from dinner!
6. Using the whisk, beat the eggs, milk and salt together in a bowl and set aside.
7. Shred the cooled bake potato on the large holes of a box grater.
8. Heat the oil over medium heat and have an adult test the temperature by adding a bit of potato to the oil. When the oil sizzles on the potato piece, it is time for your adult to add the remaining shredded potatoes in an even layer to the pan. Cook the potatoes for two minutes and have your adult turn them over. Cook again for two minutes and turn. Repeat this process for 6-8 minutes or until the potatoes are golden and crispy.
9. Add the beaten eggs and cheese to the potatoes in the pan. If you would like to add optional ingredients add them now.
10. Over medium heat, lift and then fold the egg mixture over repeatedly until mixture is thick and eggs are cooked. Place half of the egg mixture onto each tortilla and fold into a burrito shape. Serve immediately. Makes two burritos.

Optional ingredients: Where I live we add roasted and chopped green chile to our egg mixture before we scramble them. Some people like to add chopped red peppers, tomato, ham or bacon to their burrito. The choice is yours!Photo Answer– The potato is hiding behind the eggs.
