# What You'll Need:

→ Meats

01 - 8 slices smoked bacon

→ Eggs & Dairy

02 - 6 large eggs
03 - 1/4 cup whole milk
04 - 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

→ Vegetables

05 - 1 small red bell pepper, diced
06 - 1/2 small red onion, diced
07 - 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)

→ Wraps

08 - 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch)

→ Pantry & Seasoning

09 - 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
10 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
11 - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
12 - Salsa, for serving (optional)
13 - Hot sauce, for serving (optional)

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Fry the bacon slices in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain on paper towels and chop roughly once cooled.
02 - Discard excess bacon fat, leaving about 1 teaspoon in the skillet. Add diced onion and bell pepper and sauté for 3 to 4 minutes until softened. Remove vegetables and set aside.
03 - Whisk together eggs, whole milk, salt, and black pepper in a mixing bowl until blended.
04 - Melt butter over medium-low heat in the skillet. Pour in egg mixture and cook gently, stirring until eggs are softly set, about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat.
05 - Heat tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until they become pliable and easy to roll.
06 - Distribute scrambled eggs evenly onto each tortilla. Top with sautéed vegetables, chopped bacon, shredded cheddar, and cilantro, if using.
07 - Fold the sides of each tortilla inward, then roll tightly from the bottom to enclose all fillings securely.
08 - For added crispness, place burritos seam-side down in the skillet and toast for 1 to 2 minutes until golden brown.
09 - Serve immediately, accompanied by salsa and hot sauce if desired.
