I love making these breakfast burritos on weekends for my family because they enjoy the smoky bacon combined with fresh vegetables in a warm tortilla.
Ingredients
- 8 slices smoked bacon: Meats
- 6 large eggs: Eggs & Dairy
- 1/4 cup whole milk: Eggs & Dairy
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded: Eggs & Dairy
- 1 small red bell pepper, diced: Vegetables
- 1/2 small red onion, diced: Vegetables
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (optional): Vegetables
- 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch): Wraps
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter: Pantry & Seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon salt: Pantry & Seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper: Pantry & Seasoning
- Salsa, for serving (optional): Pantry & Seasoning
- Hot sauce, for serving (optional): Pantry & Seasoning
Instructions
- Step 1:
- Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 8 10 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. When cool, roughly chop.
- Step 2:
- In the same skillet, discard excess bacon fat, leaving about 1 teaspoon. Add diced onion and red bell pepper sauté for 3 4 minutes until softened. Remove and set aside.
- Step 3:
- In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper.
- Step 4:
- Melt butter in the skillet over medium-low heat. Pour in the egg mixture and gently scramble until just set but still soft, about 3 4 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Step 5:
- Warm tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable.
- Step 6:
- To assemble each burrito place a quarter of the scrambled eggs in the center of a tortilla, then top with sautéed vegetables, chopped bacon, cheddar cheese, and cilantro (if using).
- Step 7:
- Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll up tightly from the bottom to enclose the filling.
- Step 8:
- For a crispier burrito, toast the wrapped burritos seam-side down in the skillet for 1 2 minutes until golden.
- Step 9:
- Serve immediately with salsa and hot sauce, if desired.
