Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  •  
  • 1 large flour tortilla soft and warm
  • 2 scrambled eggs
  • 2 strips crispy bacon or ¼ cup cooked sausage crumbled
  • ¼ cup shredded cheese cheddar, Monterey Jack, or your favorite
  • ¼ cup diced veggies bell peppers, onions, tomatoes, or spinach
  • Optional: Salsa hot sauce, or avocado for extra flavor

Method
 

  1. Warm the Tortilla: Heat the flour tortilla in a dry skillet over low heat for about 20 seconds per side until soft and pliable.
  2. Prepare the Eggs: Scramble the eggs in a non-stick pan over medium-low heat until just set.
  3. Assemble the Burrito: Place the scrambled eggs in the center of the tortilla.
  4. Add Protein & Cheese: Sprinkle the cooked bacon or sausage over the eggs, then top with shredded cheese.
  5. Add Veggies: Scatter the diced veggies over the filling for extra crunch and nutrition.
  6. Wrap it Up: Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to create a burrito.
  7. Serve & Enjoy: Slice in half and serve warm. Add salsa, hot sauce, or avocado if desired!

Notes

  • Protein Swap: Substitute bacon or sausage with turkey sausage, chicken sausage, or black beans for a lighter or vegetarian option.
  • Cheese Options: Try pepper jack for a spicy kick, feta for a tangy twist, or dairy-free cheese for a vegan alternative.
  • Make It Healthier: Use a whole wheat or low-carb tortilla and load up on extra veggies like spinach, mushrooms, or avocado for added nutrition.
  • Crispier Texture: Lightly toast the wrapped burrito in a skillet over medium heat for 1-2 minutes per side to get a golden, crispy exterior.
