Description
Breakfast Burritos are a customizable, hearty morning meal wrapped in a soft tortilla and filled with eggs, cheese, and savory ingredients like sausage, bacon, potatoes, and veggies. Ideal for meal prep, on-the-go breakfasts, or weekend brunch.
Ingredients
- 6 large flour tortillas
- 8 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk or cream
- 1/2 lb breakfast sausage, bacon, or ham
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or blend)
- 1 1/2 cups cooked hash browns or diced potatoes
- 1/2 cup chopped bell peppers (optional)
- 1/4 cup chopped onion (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp butter or oil (for cooking)
- Optional toppings: salsa, hot sauce, avocado, sour cream
Instructions
- Cook sausage or bacon in a skillet until browned. Set aside. Sauté bell peppers and onions (if using) in the same pan until softened.
- Whisk eggs with milk, season with salt and pepper, and scramble in a buttered skillet until just set.
- Warm tortillas in a dry pan or microwave until pliable.
- Layer fillings in the center of each tortilla: scrambled eggs, meat, potatoes, veggies, and cheese.
- Fold sides in, then roll from the bottom up to form burritos.
- Optional: Toast burritos seam-side down in a skillet for 1–2 minutes until golden.
Notes
- Cool fillings slightly before assembling to prevent sogginess.
- Customize with beans, jalapeños, spinach, or plant-based options.
- To freeze, wrap tightly and store in freezer bags.
