Ingredients

For the Eggs:
* 6 large eggs: Use fresh, high-quality eggs for the best flavor and texture. * 2 tablespoons milk or cream: This will make your eggs extra fluffy and creamy. I actually tested this with almond milk once, and it turned out even better, adding a subtle flavor. * 1/2 teaspoon salt: Adjust to your liking. * 1/4 teaspoon black pepper: Add to taste. Freshly ground is always best! * 1 tablespoon butter: For cooking the eggs. Can you use olive oil or cooking spray?

For the Filling:
* 1 pound bacon or sausage: Cooked and crumbled. If using bacon, I always cook extra because someone always sneaks a piece or two! * 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese: Or any cheese you like! What are some good substitutes for Monterey Jack? What are some good colors for bell peppers? I like to use a combination of red and green for pops of color. * 1/4 cup diced jalapeo: 1 cup. * 1 cup cooked potatoes: Diced. Can you use leftover roasted potatoes or sauté some diced potatoes in a pan?

For Assembly:
* 6 large flour tortillas: Warm them up for easy rolling. I like to char them on a gas stove for flavor. * Optional toppings: Salsa, guacamole, hot sauce.

What are the steps to

Step 1: Preheat & Prep Ingredients

Before cooking, make sure all your ingredients are prepped and ready to go. Cook your bacon or sausage and crumble it. Dice your onion, bell pepper, and jalapeo (if using). Cook your potatoes if you haven’t already. Warm your tortillas. How can I make assembly process easy and quick?

Step 2: Scramble the Eggs

In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cream, salt, and pepper until well combined. Serve warm or cold. In a large skillet, heat the butter over medium heat. In a large skillet, pour the egg mixture into the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are set but not charred. Remove from the heat and set aside. Is it still moist? Don’t overcook them, or they’ll be dry!

Step 3: Sauté the Vegetables

In the same skillet, sauté the onion and bell pepper over medium heat until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Add the jalapeo (if using) and cook for another minute.

Step 4: Assemble the Burritos

If you have a warm tortilla, lay it flat on the flat surface. Spoon about 1/6 of scrambled eggs onto the center of the tortilla. Top with 1/6 of the bacon or sausage, sautéed vegetables, potatoes, and cheese. How do you wrap a tortilla?

Step 5: Wrap the Burritos

If you want, you can brown the burritos in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 5 minutes per side. Which will give them a nice golden color and crispy texture.

How do I make breakfast burritos?

Want to take your breakfast burritos to the next level? Here are a few of my top tips:
Egg Perfection: For the creamiest scrambled eggs, don’t overcook them! Cook them over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until they’re set but still slightly moist. And don’t forget that splash of milk or cream – it really makes a difference!
Tortilla Warmth: Warm tortillas are essential for easy rolling. You can warm them in a dry skillet, in the microwave, or even on a gas stovetop for a slightly charred flavor. Be careful not to overheat them, or they’ll become brittle.
Filling Finesse: Don’t overfill your burritos! This is the number one mistake people make. Too much filling will make them difficult to wrap and prone to falling apart. It’s better to underfill than overfill.
Cheese Choices: Use a good quality cheese that melts well. Cheddar, Monterey Jack, pepper jack, and Mexican blend are all great options. Don’t be afraid to experiment with different cheeses to find your favorite!
Spice It Up: If you like a little heat, add some diced jalapeños to your filling or top your burritos with hot sauce. You can also use a spicy sausage or pepper jack cheese.
Prep Ahead: These burritos are perfect for meal prepping! You can cook all the ingredients ahead of time and assemble the burritos when you’re ready to eat. Or, wrap them individually in foil and freeze them for a quick and easy breakfast on the go. This saves so much time during the week. It is actually one of my most favorite things about this recipe.

The biggest lesson I’ve learned? Don’t be afraid to experiment! Try different combinations of fillings and toppings to find your perfect breakfast burrito recipe. I have even experimented with different fillings for the breakfast burritos, such as rice and beans. Trust me, once you master the basics, the possibilities are endless!

Storing and Reheating Tips

These breakfast burritos are fantastic for making ahead of time!
Room Temperature: I don’t recommend leaving them at room temperature for more than a couple of hours. Bacteria can grow quickly at room temperature, so it’s best to refrigerate or freeze them as soon as possible. Make sure to cover them well to prevent them from drying out.
Refrigerator Storage: To store your breakfast burritos in the refrigerator, wrap them individually in plastic wrap or foil. They will keep for up to 3-4 days. Make sure they’re stored in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
Freezer Instructions: For longer storage, wrap your breakfast burritos individually in foil, then place them in a freezer bag. They will keep in the freezer for up to 2-3 months. Label the bag with the date so you know when you made them.
Reheating: To reheat your burritos, remove them from the freezer and let them thaw in the refrigerator overnight. You can then microwave them for a minute or two, or bake them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15-20 minutes. If you’re reheating them from the refrigerator, you can microwave them for a shorter amount of time. They are great, and they last a long time.

The glaze should be stored separately, adding it just before serving, regardless of the storage method. This is the best way to maintain its freshness.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this gluten-free?
Absolutely! Just use gluten-free tortillas. You can find them at most grocery stores. Be sure to check the labels of your other ingredients to ensure they are also gluten-free.
Can I make these vegetarian?
Of course! Simply omit the bacon or sausage and add extra veggies, such as black beans, corn, or spinach. You can also use tofu scramble instead of eggs.
Can I add hot sauce into the recipe?
Yes, you can add hot sauce into the recipe. Hot sauce is a great additive to any recipe and can give it a nice flavorful taste.
How can I make these spicier?
Add more jalapeño or use a spicier pepper, such as serrano. You can also use pepper jack cheese or add a dash of cayenne pepper to the egg mixture. Don’t go overboard, though, or you’ll overpower the other flavors!
What if my tortillas are cracking when I roll them?
Your tortillas are probably too dry. Try warming them up for a longer amount of time or wrapping them in a damp paper towel before warming them. You can also lightly brush them with oil before warming them. It is an easy fix.
