Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 20 mins
Total Time: 35 mins
Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup cooked sausage or bacon
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- 1 cup diced bell peppers
- 1 cup diced onions
- 6 large tortillas
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients by dicing bell peppers and onions into small, uniform pieces.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add diced onions and bell peppers. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until vegetables are softened and slightly translucent.
- In a separate pan, cook sausage or bacon until fully cooked and crispy. Drain excess grease on paper towels and set aside.
- Crack eggs into a mixing bowl, add salt and pepper. Whisk thoroughly until eggs are well combined and slightly frothy.
- Pour whisked eggs into the skillet with sautéed vegetables. Gently scramble eggs, stirring continuously until eggs are just set but still moist.
- Remove egg mixture from heat and let cool slightly for 2-3 minutes.
- Warm tortillas in microwave or on a griddle to make them more pliable.
- Lay out each tortilla and place a portion of scrambled eggs in the center.
- Top eggs with cooked meat and sprinkle shredded cheese over the filling.
- Fold tortilla sides inward, then roll tightly to create a burrito.
- Wrap each burrito individually in aluminum foil for freezer storage.
- To reheat, remove foil and microwave for 1-2 minutes or bake at 350°F for 10-15 minutes until heated through.
Tips
- Prep Ahead: To save time on busy mornings, consider prepping your ingredients the night before. Chop the bell peppers and onions and store them in the fridge for a quick assembly in the morning.
- Customize Your Fillings: Feel free to mix and match your favorite ingredients! Swap the sausage for chorizo, add in some spinach for extra greens, or try different types of cheese for a unique flavor twist.
- Perfectly Scrambled Eggs: When scrambling the eggs, remember to cook them on low to medium heat and stir gently. This will ensure they stay soft and fluffy, rather than rubbery.
- Keep Tortillas Warm: Warming the tortillas before filling them makes them more pliable and easier to roll without tearing.
- Freezing Tips: Make sure to wrap each burrito tightly in aluminum foil to prevent freezer burn. You can also store them in freezer-safe bags for added protection.
- Reheating Made Easy: For a quick breakfast, microwave the burrito for 1-2 minutes. If you prefer a crispy exterior, bake them at 350°F for 10-15 minutes after removing the foil.
- Serve with Style: Elevate your breakfast experience by serving these burritos with salsa, avocado, or a dollop of sour cream on the side!
