Total Time: 10 mins
Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: 1 burrito
Ingredients
- 1 large tortilla
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup shredded cheese
- 1/4 cup diced bell peppers
- 1/4 cup cooked sausage or bacon
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and prepare your cooking workspace. Ensure you have a non-stick skillet, spatula, and cutting board ready.
- Crack the eggs into a small mixing bowl. Whisk them thoroughly with a fork, adding a pinch of salt and pepper to enhance the flavor.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. If using bacon, crumble pre-cooked bacon. If using sausage, ensure it's already cooked and chopped.
- Pour whisked eggs into the heated skillet. Gently scramble the eggs, stirring continuously to create soft, fluffy curds.
- When eggs are nearly set, add diced bell peppers and pre-cooked meat to the skillet. Stir to combine and heat through.
- Sprinkle shredded cheese over the egg mixture and allow it to melt slightly.
- Warm the tortilla in a separate skillet or microwave for 10-15 seconds to make it more pliable.
- Transfer the hot egg mixture to the center of the warmed tortilla.
- Fold the bottom of the tortilla up, then fold in the sides, creating a tight wrap.
- Optional: If desired, place the burrito seam-side down in the skillet to lightly crisp the exterior.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your quick, delicious breakfast burrito!
Tips
- Temperature is Key: Ensure your skillet is at medium heat to prevent eggs from burning or becoming rubbery.
- Cheese Melting Trick: Sprinkle cheese over the hot eggs off the heat to help it melt perfectly without overcooking.
- Tortilla Hack: Warm your tortilla briefly to make it more flexible and prevent cracking when folding.
- Prep in Advance: Chop vegetables and pre-cook meats the night before to make your morning even faster.
- Customize Your Burrito: Feel free to swap ingredients based on what you have. Vegetarian? Use tofu or extra veggies. Want more spice? Add some hot sauce or jalapeños.
- Clean-Up Shortcut: Use a non-stick skillet to minimize washing up and make the cooking process smoother.
- Make It Ahead: These burritos can be wrapped in foil and reheated, making them perfect for meal prep or grab-and-go breakfasts.
