Description

A hearty and delicious breakfast burrito filled with fluffy scrambled eggs, melted cheese, savory breakfast sausage or bacon, and sautéed veggies wrapped in warm flour tortillas. Ideal for a quick breakfast or meal prep, offering protein-packed convenience for busy mornings.


Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 6 large eggs
  • ½ cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)
  • ½ cup cooked breakfast sausage or bacon, chopped
  • ¼ cup diced bell peppers
  • ¼ cup onions, sautéed
  • Salt and pepper to taste


Instructions

  1. Scramble the Eggs: In a bowl, whisk the eggs with salt and pepper. Pour the mixture into a non-stick skillet over medium heat and stir gently until the eggs are soft and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
  2. Prepare the Veggies: While the eggs cook, sauté the diced onions and bell peppers in a separate pan until tender and slightly caramelized, about 4-5 minutes.
  3. Warm the Tortillas: Heat the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave just until pliable, making them easier to roll.
  4. Assemble the Burritos: Lay each warm tortilla flat. Distribute the scrambled eggs evenly onto each, then sprinkle with shredded cheese, cooked breakfast sausage or bacon, and the sautéed veggies.
  5. Roll the Burritos: Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll tightly from one end to the other, ensuring all fillings are enclosed.
  6. Serve or Store: Serve the burritos immediately piping hot, or wrap each burrito tightly in foil and refrigerate for up to 3 days.

Notes

  • Freeze individually wrapped burritos for up to 1 month for longer storage.
  • To reheat frozen burritos, thaw overnight in the refrigerator and warm in the microwave or skillet until heated through.
  • Feel free to customize with your preferred fillings such as avocado, salsa, or black beans.
