Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 4 Large Flour Tortillas
  • 6 Eggs
  • 6 oz Cooked Breakfast Sausage or Bacon
  • 1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
  • 1/2 cup Diced Bell Peppers
  • 1/2 cup Diced Onions
  • 1/4 cup Fresh Cilantro (optional)
  • 1/4 cup Salsa or Hot Sauce
  • Salt and Pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Vegetables and Meat: Finely dice the bell peppers and onions. In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the vegetables with a bit of oil until softened, about 5 minutes. Cook the breakfast sausage or bacon in the same pan until browned and crispy, then remove and set aside.
  2. Whisk and Cook the Eggs: Whisk the eggs with salt and pepper until well combined. Pour into the skillet and cook gently over low heat, stirring occasionally to create soft, fluffy curds. Avoid overcooking to keep the eggs creamy.
  3. Warm the Tortillas: While the eggs cook, warm the flour tortillas on a clean skillet or in the oven wrapped in foil to make them pliable and easier to roll.
  4. Assemble the Burritos: Lay a warm tortilla flat, then layer eggs, cooked sausage or bacon, sautéed veggies, and a generous sprinkling of shredded cheddar cheese. Add salsa or hot sauce as desired and finish with fresh cilantro if using.
  5. Roll it Up: Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll tightly from one end to the other to encase the filling securely. For a golden finish, place the burrito seam-side down on a hot skillet and toast for 1-2 minutes on each side.

Notes

  • Use fresh eggs for fluffier scrambled eggs with better texture.
  • Don’t overfill the burrito to make rolling easier and prevent tearing.
  • Sauté veggies separately to avoid excess moisture and sogginess.
  • Warm tortillas properly to retain flexibility and enhance flavor.
  • Make fillings ahead to assemble quickly on busy mornings.
