Ingredients

Here’s what I use for these satisfying breakfast burritos and you can customize them with your favorite add-ins!

• Tortillas – The base that wraps everything together and holds the filling.
• Eggs – Provide protein and fluffy texture for the main filling.
• Bacon – Adds smoky crispiness that pairs perfectly with eggs.
• Cheddar cheese – Melts beautifully adding creamy, cheesy flavor.
• Butter – Keeps the scrambled eggs soft and flavorful.
• Salt and pepper – Enhances the flavor of the eggs.
• Chives – For a fresh garnish and mild oniony note.

Tools You’ll Need

• Frying pan – For cooking bacon and scrambling eggs.
• Mixing bowl – To whisk the eggs before cooking.
• Spatula – Helps scramble the eggs gently.
• Knife – To chop cooked bacon and garnish.
• Tongs – Handy for flipping bacon and assembling burritos.

Instructions

Step 1: Cook the Bacon

I start by frying the bacon in a skillet until crispy then place it on a paper towel to drain and chop it into pieces.

Step 2: Scramble the Eggs

I whisk the eggs with salt and pepper then melt a little butter in the same pan and cook the eggs gently until fluffy.

Step 3: Warm the Tortillas

I heat the tortillas in a dry pan for a few seconds on each side so they become soft and pliable.

Step 4: Assemble the Burritos

I place scrambled eggs in the center of each tortilla add bacon pieces and sprinkle with shredded cheddar so it melts slightly from the warmth.

Step 5: Roll and Toast

I fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it tightly then I toast it briefly on the pan seam side down to seal and add a light crisp.

Step 6: Garnish and Serve

I top the burritos with chopped chives and serve them warm for the best taste.

Tips

I like to add sautéed veggies like bell peppers or spinach for extra nutrition and if I’m making these ahead I wrap them in foil and freeze so they can be reheated quickly. For extra flavor, a drizzle of hot sauce or salsa is amazing.
