Breakfast Burrito Recipe – Step by Step

🕒 Total Time: ~25 minutes

🍽️ Servings: 4

✅ Ingredients:

• 4 large tortillas
• 6 large eggs
• ½ cup milk (optional, for fluffier eggs)
• 1 cup shredded cheese
• ½ lb breakfast sausage, bacon, or chorizo (cooked and crumbled)
• 1 cup diced potatoes or hash browns (cooked until golden)
• ¼ cup diced onion (optional)
• ¼ cup bell pepper, diced (optional)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 tbsp butter or oil (for cooking eggs)
• 🌿 Optional Toppings: Salsa, sour cream, avocado, cilantro

🥣 Instructions:

1. Cook the Meat & Potatoes

• Heat a skillet over medium heat.
• Add the breakfast sausage, bacon, or chorizo. Cook until browned and fully cooked (5–7 minutes).
• Remove the meat and drain excess grease.
• In the same skillet, add the potatoes. Cook until golden and crispy (5–7 minutes). Season with salt and pepper.
• Remove the potatoes and set aside.

🥚 2. Scramble the Eggs

• In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper.
• Heat butter or oil in a skillet over medium heat.
• Pour in the egg mixture.
• Gently stir the eggs as they cook, creating soft curds.
• Remove from heat when eggs are fully cooked but still soft and moist (around 5 minutes).

🌯 3. Warm the Tortillas

• Heat the tortillas in a clean skillet or microwave for 15–20 seconds until soft and pliable.
• This prevents them from tearing when wrapping.

🧀 4. Assemble the Burritos

• Lay each tortilla flat.
• Layer the filling:
  • Eggs
  • Meat
  • Potatoes
  • Shredded cheese
  • Optional add-ins: diced onion, bell peppers, salsa, or avocado
• Fold the burrito:
  • Fold in the sides.
  • Roll it up tightly from the bottom to the top.

🔥 5. Toast the Burritos (Optional but Recommended)

• Heat a clean skillet over medium heat.
• Place the burritos seam-side down and toast for 1–2 minutes on each side until golden and crispy.
• This adds a nice crunch and seals the burrito.

🌿 6. Serve & Enjoy

• Serve immediately with salsa, sour cream, or hot sauce on the side.
• Optional garnish: Sprinkle with fresh cilantro or add avocado slices.
