What You’ll Need

Ingredients Notes

• Bacon- Use any type you like. Turkey bacon is okay, too.
• Eggs- Use either the whole egg, or you can make this with egg whites.
• Shredded Cheese- I used a Mexican-style blend, but you can use whatever cheese you like.
• Butter- Unsalted is best since we will be seasoning the eggs with salt.
• Toppings- Salsa, sour cream
• Wrap- Flour tortillas

Add-ins and Substitutions

• Substitute another cheese- You can make these with other kinds of cheeses, including cheddar, jack, feta cheese, or mozzarella.
• Add more meat- Try these Breakfast Burritos with sausage links or patties cut up, or with ham.
• Use another topping- Besides sour cream and salsa, you can also add Pico de Gallo, Guacamole, Sriracha, or ketchup.
• Add vegetables- Make this recipe with diced tomatoes, avocado, or spinach.

How to Make Breakfast Burritos

• Cook the bacon. Fry the bacon slices to your preferred crispiness (pan fry, bake, or air fry).

Pro Tip: Pat your bacon with paper towels to get off excess grease that could make your burritos soggy.

• Scramble the eggs. Whisk your eggs with the milk, salt, and pepper. Heat the butter in a pan and cook the eggs.

• Assemble your breakfast burritos. Add 1/4 of the eggs, a slice of bacon, shredded cheese, sour cream, and salsa.
• Roll them up. Brush the edges of the tortillas with water and roll them tightly.
• Crisp the sides. Heat a pan with oil and fry each side of your breakfast burrito till golden brown.

Recipe Tips

• Don’t overstuff them.Too many ingredients will cause the tortilla to tear, so err on the side of caution when filling these burritos.
• Brush them with water before wrapping- Don’t forget this step because it will ensure that your breakfast burritos close tightly.
• Minimize grease– After you’ve cooked the bacon, pat them dry to decrease the amount of grease that goes into your burritos.
• Make a double batch- Because these burritos freeze so well, make a double batch for another day when you need a quick and nutritious breakfast already made.
