Breakfast Burrito

A hearty and customizable breakfast burrito packed with scrambled eggs, crispy bacon, cheese, and fresh veggies—perfect for a quick, on-the-go morning meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 strips bacon (or sausage/ham)
  • 1 tbsp butter or oil
  • 1/4 cup diced bell peppers
  • 1/4 cup diced onions
  • 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 large flour tortilla (10-inch)
  • 1 tbsp sour cream (optional)
  • 1 tbsp salsa (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro or green onions (for garnish)
  • Hot sauce (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cook bacon: In a skillet, cook bacon until crispy. Remove, drain on paper towels, and chop into bits.
  2. Sauté veggies: In the same pan, melt butter and sauté onions and bell peppers until soft (2-3 minutes).
  3. Scramble eggs: Push veggies to one side, pour beaten eggs into the pan, and scramble until fully cooked. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Warm tortilla: Heat the tortilla in a dry pan or microwave for 10 seconds to make it pliable.
  5. Assemble burrito: Layer eggs, bacon, cheese, sour cream, and salsa in the center of the tortilla. Fold sides inward, then roll tightly.
  6. Optional crisp: For extra texture, grill the burrito seam-side down in a pan for 1-2 minutes.
  7. Serve: Slice in half and garnish with cilantro or green onions. Serve with hot sauce if desired.

Notes

  • Make-ahead: Wrap burritos in foil and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet or microwave.
  • Customize: Add avocado, black beans, potatoes, or jalapeños for extra flavor.
  • Vegetarian: Omit bacon and use sautéed mushrooms or tofu.
  • Freezer-friendly: Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 1 month. Reheat in the oven (350°F for 15-20 minutes).
