Breakfast Burrito
A Breakfast Burrito is the ultimate morning meal, packed with protein, flavor, and all your favorite ingredients wrapped in a warm tortilla. It’s versatile, quick to make, and perfect for an on-the-go breakfast or a hearty brunch.
Ingredients:
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 6 large eggs
- ½ cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or your favorite)
- 4 slices of bacon or 4 sausage links (cooked and crumbled)
- 1 cup diced potatoes (optional: hash browns or cooked potatoes)
- ¼ cup chopped onions
- ¼ cup chopped bell peppers (optional)
- Salsa, sour cream, or guacamole (for serving)
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
- Butter or oil (for cooking)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Ingredients:
- Cook the bacon or sausage in a skillet until crispy. Set aside and crumble.
- In the same skillet, sauté the diced potatoes, onions, and bell peppers until golden and cooked through. Set aside.
- Scramble the Eggs:
- In a bowl, whisk the eggs with salt and pepper.
- Heat a little butter or oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the eggs and cook, stirring occasionally, until fully scrambled. Remove from heat.
- Assemble the Burritos:
- Warm the tortillas in a pan or microwave for about 10-15 seconds to make them more pliable.
- Lay each tortilla flat and layer with scrambled eggs, bacon or sausage, cooked potatoes (if using), and shredded cheese.
- Add any additional toppings like salsa, sour cream, or guacamole.
- Roll the Burritos:
- Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up from the bottom, tucking in the sides as you go.
- Optional:
- Toast the burritos in a skillet for 1-2 minutes on each side to make them crispy.
Tips:
- Make Ahead: You can assemble these burritos ahead of time and store them in the fridge or freezer. Reheat them in the microwave or oven when you’re ready to eat.
- Customize: Add spinach, avocado, jalapeños, or even black beans for extra flavor and nutrients.
Enjoy a delicious and satisfying Breakfast Burrito to kickstart your day!
