Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • Large flour tortillas (soft and pliable)
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or preferred variety)
  • ½ cup fresh salsa
  • 4 cooked breakfast sausage links or 4 slices of bacon (optional)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Optional Veggies

  • ½ cup diced bell peppers
  • ¼ cup diced onions
  • ½ sliced avocado

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Crack and whisk 4 eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. Chop any optional veggies such as bell peppers, onions, or avocado. Warm the flour tortillas gently to make them flexible and easy to roll.
  2. Cook the Eggs: In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, slowly scramble the eggs to maintain a soft and fluffy texture. Remove from the pan once just cooked to avoid over-drying.
  3. Cook the Meat and Veggies: If using breakfast sausage, bacon, or optional veggies, sauté them until cooked through and caramelized to enhance flavor and texture contrast.
  4. Assemble the Burritos: Lay a warm tortilla flat on a surface. Spread a generous scoop of scrambled eggs, then add the cooked meat or veggies, top with shredded cheese, and finish with a spoonful of fresh salsa. Roll the tortilla tightly, folding the sides inward to contain the fillings completely.
  5. Optional Step – Warm the Burritos: Place the burrito back in the pan for 1–2 minutes on each side or use a sandwich press. This melts the cheese perfectly and crisps the tortilla slightly for extra texture.

Notes

  • Use fresh salsa for the brightest flavor impact.
  • Do not overcook the eggs to keep them soft and fluffy.
  • Warm tortillas properly in a dry skillet or microwave to prevent cracking.
  • Add a creamy element like sour cream or guacamole to elevate the burrito.
  • Wrap burritos tightly to prevent fillings from spilling out.
