Breakfast Burritos Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a blend)
  • 1/2 cup cooked and crumbled breakfast sausage or bacon
  • 1/2 cup diced bell peppers
  • 1/2 cup diced onions
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup salsa (optional)
  • 1 avocado, sliced (optional)
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)
  • Hot sauce (optional)

  1. Prepare the Filling:
    • In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper.
    • Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with cooking spray or a small amount of oil.
    • Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are scrambled and fully cooked. Remove from heat and set aside.
  2. Cook the Vegetables:
    • In the same skillet, add a little more oil if needed and sauté the diced bell peppers and onions until they are softened and slightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Assemble the Burritos:
    • Lay each tortilla flat on a clean surface.
    • Evenly distribute the scrambled eggs, cooked sausage or bacon, sautéed vegetables, diced tomatoes, and shredded cheese among the tortillas.
    • If using, add a spoonful of salsa, slices of avocado, and sprinkle with fresh cilantro.
  4. Roll the Burritos:
    • Fold in the sides of each tortilla over the filling, then roll from the bottom up, tucking in the sides as you go to form a tight burrito.
  5. Optional: Toast the Burritos:
    • For a crispy exterior, heat a clean, dry skillet over medium heat. Place the rolled burritos seam-side down in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
  6. Serve:
    • Cut the burritos in half if desired and serve with additional salsa and hot sauce on the side.

Enjoy your delicious breakfast burritos!
