  • Author: Chef Ava
  • Total Time: 10 minutes
  • Yield: Per Burrito

Description

This hearty breakfast burrito is packed with delicious ingredients and is perfect for a quick morning meal or brunch. Let’s get started!


Ingredients

Scale

 

  • 1 large flour tortilla (soft and warm)
  • 2 scrambled eggs
  • 2 strips crispy bacon or ¼ cup cooked sausage (crumbled)
  • ¼ cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or your favorite)
  • ¼ cup diced veggies (bell peppers, onions, tomatoes, or spinach)
  • Optional: Salsa, hot sauce, or avocado for extra flavor

Instructions

  • Warm the Tortilla: Heat the flour tortilla in a dry skillet over low heat for about 20 seconds per side until soft and pliable.

  • Prepare the Eggs: Scramble the eggs in a non-stick pan over medium-low heat until just set.

  • Assemble the Burrito: Place the scrambled eggs in the center of the tortilla.

  • Add Protein & Cheese: Sprinkle the cooked bacon or sausage over the eggs, then top with shredded cheese.

  • Add Veggies: Scatter the diced veggies over the filling for extra crunch and nutrition.

  • Wrap it Up: Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to create a burrito.

  • Serve & Enjoy: Slice in half and serve warm. Add salsa, hot sauce, or avocado if desired!

Notes

  • Protein Swap: Substitute bacon or sausage with turkey sausage, chicken sausage, or black beans for a lighter or vegetarian option.
  • Cheese Options: Try pepper jack for a spicy kick, feta for a tangy twist, or dairy-free cheese for a vegan alternative.
  • Make It Healthier: Use a whole wheat or low-carb tortilla and load up on extra veggies like spinach, mushrooms, or avocado for added nutrition.
  • Crispier Texture: Lightly toast the wrapped burrito in a skillet over medium heat for 1-2 minutes per side to get a golden, crispy exterior.
