Ingredients

Scale

Egg Mixture

2 large eggs
2 tablespoons milk
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper

Fillings

1/2 cup frozen hash browns, thawed
2 slices cooked bacon or 2 breakfast sausage patties or vegetarian alternative
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup salsa

Wrap and Cooking

2 large (10-inch) flour tortillas
2 teaspoons butter or oil, divided

Instructions

Prepare Egg Mixture: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until fully combined and smooth.
Cook Hash Browns: Heat 1 teaspoon of butter or oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the thawed hash browns and cook for about 3 to 4 minutes per side until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.
Scramble Eggs: Using the same skillet, pour in the egg mixture. Gently scramble the eggs, stirring occasionally, until they are just set but still moist. Remove from the heat.
Warm Tortillas: Warm each tortilla for about 10 seconds in the microwave or briefly in a dry skillet to make them more pliable and easier to fold.
Section Tortillas: Place each tortilla flat on a surface and mentally divide it into four quadrants. Make a single cut from the center of the tortilla to the bottom edge to create a flap for folding.
Add Fillings: On the bottom left quadrant of the tortilla, spread the scrambled eggs. On the bottom right, place the crispy hash browns. On the top right, add the cooked bacon or sausage pieces, if using. On the top left, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese. Spoon salsa over your preferred fillings as desired.
Fold Wrap: Fold the bottom left quadrant (with eggs) up over the top left quadrant (with cheese), then fold it over to the top right quadrant (with meat), and finally fold it down over the bottom right quadrant (hash browns), creating a layered, triangle-shaped wrap.
Brown Crunchwrap: Heat the remaining 1 teaspoon of butter or oil in the skillet over medium heat. Place the folded crunchwrap seam side down in the skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until the wrap is golden brown, crispy, and heated through.
Serve: Remove from heat and serve hot with additional salsa on the side, if desired.

Notes

You can substitute bacon or sausage with a vegetarian alternative to suit your preference.
For a spicier kick, add jalapeños or hot sauce along with salsa.
Ensure hash browns are fully thawed before cooking for even crispiness.
Use a nonstick skillet for easier cooking and flipping of the crunchwrap.
Leftover crunchwraps can be reheated in a skillet or toaster oven for best texture retention.
