Instructions

In a large skillet, heat some cooking oil or melt butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and bell pepper, and sauté until they become soft and translucent.

In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until well beaten. Pour the eggs into the skillet with the onions and bell peppers. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are scrambled and cooked to your desired consistency.

Season the scrambled eggs with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and set aside.

Warm the tortillas in a microwave or on a griddle until they are soft and pliable.

Place a tortilla on a flat surface and spoon some of the scrambled eggs onto the center of the tortilla. Add a portion of the cooked and chopped bacon or sausage on top of the eggs.

Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese, diced tomatoes, and chopped cilantro (if using) over the eggs and bacon.

Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to create a burrito shape. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas and filling ingredients.

Warm the assembled breakfast burritos in a skillet or on a griddle for a few minutes to melt the cheese and heat them through.

Finally, serve the breakfast burritos with your choice of toppings such as salsa, sour cream, avocado slices, and hot sauce.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Warm Your Tortillas Properly 🔥
Heat tortillas directly over a gas flame or in a dry skillet for 30 seconds per side to make them pliable and prevent cracking when rolling, ensuring a perfect seal.
Prep and Cook Vegetables First 🧅
Sauté onions and bell peppers until slightly caramelized before adding eggs—this concentrates their flavors and prevents excess moisture that could make burritos soggy.
Scramble Eggs Low and Slow 🥚
Cook eggs on medium-low heat and stir frequently for creamy, tender curds rather than dry, overcooked eggs; remove from heat when still slightly underdone as residual heat will finish cooking.
Strategic Ingredient Layering 📦
Place ingredients in order of moisture content—start with dry items like cheese and bacon, then eggs and vegetables, finishing with avocado and sour cream to prevent the tortilla from becoming soggy.
Master the Burrito Roll Technique 🌯
Fold in the sides first, then roll tightly away from you while tucking the bottom edge inward; this creates a secure package that won't unravel when sliced or during make-ahead storage.
