Basic Breakfast Burrito Recipe
Ingredients:
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 8 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk (optional, for creamier eggs)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or your favorite)
- 1 cup cooked breakfast sausage, bacon, or ham, chopped
- 1 cup diced potatoes or hash browns, cooked
- 1/2 cup salsa
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
- 1 avocado, sliced (optional)
- Hot sauce (optional)
- Olive oil or butter, for cooking
Instructions:
- Cook the Eggs: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk (if using), salt, and pepper. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a bit of olive oil or butter. Pour in the egg mixture and cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are scrambled and fully cooked. Remove from heat.
- Warm the Tortillas: Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, or until they are pliable.
- Assemble the Burritos: Lay each tortilla flat on a work surface. Divide the scrambled eggs, cooked meat, potatoes, shredded cheese, salsa, cilantro, and avocado slices evenly among the tortillas.
- Wrap the Burritos: Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to the top, enclosing the filling completely.
- Optional Step – Toast the Burritos: For a crispy exterior, you can toast the wrapped burritos in a skillet over medium heat for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
- Serve: Serve immediately with additional salsa and hot sauce on the side, if desired.
Variations
1. Veggie Breakfast Burrito:
- Replace the meat with sautéed veggies such as bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, spinach, and zucchini.
- Add black beans for extra protein.
2. Spicy Breakfast Burrito:
- Add diced jalapeños or hot sauce to the scrambled eggs.
- Use spicy sausage or chorizo for added heat.
3. Southwest Breakfast Burrito:
- Add black beans, corn, and diced tomatoes.
- Use pepper jack cheese for a bit of spice.
- Top with avocado and a squeeze of lime juice.
4. Breakfast Burrito Bowl:
- Skip the tortilla and serve the filling in a bowl for a lower-carb option.
- Add a scoop of cooked quinoa or brown rice for extra fiber.
Tips
- Make Ahead: You can make a batch of breakfast burritos, wrap them tightly in foil or plastic wrap, and store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze them for up to 3 months. To reheat, unwrap and microwave for 2-3 minutes or bake in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 20-25 minutes if frozen.
- Customize: Feel free to add your favorite ingredients and make them your own. The possibilities are endless!
Enjoy your breakfast burritos as a satisfying and portable meal to start your day!
