Why I Love This Breakfast Burritos

These Breakfast Burritos hold a special place in my heart because they remind me of mornings spent with family, all gathered around the table.

They are simple to whip up and allow for endless customization; you can toss in whatever veggies or proteins you have on hand. Plus, there’s something so satisfying about rolling up your own burrito and enjoying it on the go or at home with a side of salsa.

I love how they can easily be tailored to fit everyone’s tastes, whether you prefer a hearty sausage-filled burrito or a lighter veggie version.

Ingredients

4 large flour tortillas
6 eggs
1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)
1/2 cup diced bell peppers
1/2 cup diced onions
1/2 cup cooked sausage or bacon (optional)
Salt and pepper to taste
Salsa and avocado for serving (optional)

How to Make Breakfast Burritos

4 large flour tortillas

6 eggs

1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)

1/2 cup diced bell peppers

1/2 cup diced onions

1/2 cup cooked sausage or bacon (optional)

Salt and pepper to taste

Salsa and avocado for serving (optional)

Step 1: Sauté the Veggies

In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the diced bell peppers and onions until they’re soft—this takes about 3-4 minutes. If you’re using cooked sausage or bacon, add it now so the flavors meld together.

Step 2: Whisk the Eggs

In a bowl, whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper until blended.

Step 3: Scramble the Eggs

Pour the eggs into the skillet with the veggies, stirring gently until they’re fully scrambled and set, about 3-5 minutes.

Step 4: Warm the Tortillas

Warm the tortillas in another clean skillet or microwave until they’re soft and pliable.

Step 5: Assemble the Burritos

Divide the egg mixture among the tortillas and sprinkle with your choice of shredded cheese.

Step 6: Roll and Serve

Roll each tortilla up tightly, folding in the sides to create a burrito shape. Serve with optional salsa and sliced avocado on the side for an extra flavor boost!

Tips & Variations

Serving Ideas: Try serving these burritos with a cool, refreshing side of fruit or a smoothie for a complete breakfast.
Veggie Additions: Add in spinach or mushrooms for extra nutrients and flavor.
Spicy Option: If you like a kick, sprinkle in some diced jalapeños or hot sauce before rolling up your burrito.
Diet-Friendly Swaps: Use whole wheat or gluten-free tortillas for a healthier option, or make them vegetarian by omitting the meat altogether.

Delicious Variations

Veggie Omelette Burrito: Swap out the tortilla for an omelet packed with your favorite vegetables.
Breakfast Quesadillas: Fill tortillas with eggs and cheese, grill, and cut into wedges for easy sharing.
Scrambled Egg Muffins: For a make-ahead option, mix eggs with your favorite add-ins and bake them in muffin tins for easy grab-and-go breakfasts.
Chilaquiles: Use the same fillings as your burrito but layer them with crispy tortilla chips, salsa, and cheese for a hearty dish.

Serving Suggestions for Breakfast Burritos

These Breakfast Burritos are best served warm right after you roll them up, making them perfect for breakfast or brunch. Pair them with a refreshing glass of orange juice or a hot cup of coffee to kickstart your day.

If you want to explore more flavors, consider serving them alongside some Huevos Rancheros for a Mexican breakfast feast!

Storage and Leftovers

To reheat, pop them in the microwave or oven until heated through.
