Instructions

1. Chop the bacon and ham into bite-sized pieces.
2. Finely chop the onions, mince the 4 garlic cloves, and chop the parsley.
3. Fry the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat for 8-10 minutes until crispy.
4. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel, pat dry, and discard the fat from the skillet.
5. Heat the skillet over medium heat, add the minced pork, onions, and garlic, and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pork reaches 63 °C / 145 °F.
6. Stir in the cooked bacon, ham, chopped parsley, and 0.5 tsp black pepper. Refrigerate. Reserve 1 cup of the meat mixture for the burritos; freeze any remainder in portions for up to 3 months.
7. Peel, wash, and grate the potatoes.
8. In a skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tbsp butter. Mix in the grated potatoes, 1 chopped garlic clove, and 0.25 tsp ground cumin. Spread into an even layer, press with a spatula, and fry for 6-7 minutes until golden brown.
9. Flip the potato patty and press down again. Fry for another 6-8 minutes until crispy. Transfer to a warm plate.
10. Whisk together the eggs, milk, and 0.125 tsp black pepper.
11. In the same skillet over medium heat, melt the remaining 1 tbsp butter. Pour in the egg mixture and cook without stirring for 2-3 minutes until the bottom begins to set. Gently flip the eggs so the uncooked portion cooks on the hot pan for about 1 minute until the top is nearly set.
12. Add the reserved meat mixture and canned green chili peppers, stir to combine, and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the eggs are fully cooked.
13. Wrap each tortilla in a paper towel and microwave together at full power for 30 seconds to warm through.
14. Place a portion of the potato mixture in the center of each warm tortilla. Top with the egg-meat mixture. Sprinkle with cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese. Roll each tortilla tightly into a burrito and serve.
