Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to whip up these tasty burritos:
– 2 large flour tortillas
– 4 large eggs
– 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
– 1/4 cup diced bell peppers
– 1/4 cup cooked breakfast sausage or crispy bacon (optional but oh-so-good)
– 2 tablespoons diced onions
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 1 tablespoon butter
– Salsa or hot sauce for serving (optional but highly recommended!)
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Get Everything Ready:
– Chop up the bell peppers, onions, and any other fillings you’re using.
2. Cook the Filling:
– Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and melt the butter or spray with cooking spray.
– Toss in the onions and bell peppers and sauté for 2-3 minutes until they’re soft and fragrant.
– If you’re using sausage or bacon, add it to the skillet now.
3. Scramble the Eggs:
– Whisk the eggs in a bowl with a pinch of salt and pepper.
– Pour the eggs into the skillet and gently stir until they’re just cooked through, about 2-3 minutes.
4. Assemble the Burritos:
– Place the tortillas on a spotless surface, flat.
– Evenly distribute the egg mixture among them.
– Top each with some cheese shreds.
– Roll them up tightly, folding in the sides as you go to keep all that goodness inside.
5. Serve & Enjoy:
– Eat them right away with your favorite salsa or hot sauce.
– Seam-side down, roast the burritos in the pan for a minute or two until golden for an additional crispy finish.
Pro Tips for Success
– Warm It Up: Heating the tortillas makes them easier to roll and less likely to tear.
– Mix It Up: Swap out the fillings to suit your mood — think avocado, spinach, or black beans.
– Make Ahead: Prep a batch over the weekend, wrap them individually, and freeze. Just pop one in the microwave for a quick breakfast any day of the week.
– **Crispy Perfection:** Toasting your burrito in the skillet after rolling adds an irresistible crunch.
