Instructions

In the same or a different pan, cook the turkey bacon until crispy. Remove and chop into small pieces.

In the same pan, brown the chorizo sausage until fully cooked, breaking it apart with a spatula. Combine the cooked bacon with the chorizo and set aside.
4
In a large bowl, crack the dozen eggs and beat until mixed. Optional: add a dash of milk and season with pepper. Scramble the eggs in a separate pan until just set, then combine with the chorizo, bacon, and potatoes in the large bowl.
5
Stir all the cooked ingredients together until well mixed. This mixture will serve as the filling for your burritos.

To prepare the sauce, mix the mayonnaise, mustard, and dill in a small bowl until combined.

Take a tortilla and spoon about 2 tablespoons of the filling mixture into the center. Drizzle with the prepared sauce and sprinkle with a generous amount of shredded cheese. Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it tightly from the bottom up to form a burrito.
