Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 4 slices bacon
- 4 large eggs
- 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 large flour tortillas
- 1 jalapeño, diced (optional)
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- Hot sauce for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare your ingredients by dicing the jalapeño (if using), and shredding the cheddar cheese.
- Place a large skillet over medium heat and cook the bacon slices until crispy and golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Transfer cooked bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
- Drain most of the bacon fat from the skillet, leaving just a thin layer for cooking the eggs. Keep the skillet on medium heat.
- Crack the eggs into the skillet, season with salt and pepper. Cook the eggs to your preference - sunny-side up, over-easy, or scrambled.
- While eggs are cooking, warm the flour tortillas in a separate dry skillet or microwave for 15-20 seconds to make them more pliable.
- Crumble the cooked bacon into bite-sized pieces.
- Assemble the burritos by placing the cooked eggs in the center of each tortilla, sprinkle crumbled bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, and diced jalapeños.
- Fold the bottom of the tortilla up, then fold in the sides, and roll tightly to create a burrito.
- Optional: Return the assembled burrito to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side to create a crispy exterior.
- Serve immediately with hot sauce on the side for extra heat, if desired.
Tips
- Bacon Perfection: Cook bacon slowly to render out maximum fat and achieve that perfect crispy texture. Pat it dry with paper towels to remove excess grease.
- Egg Mastery: For the most delicious eggs, use a non-stick skillet and cook on medium heat. If you prefer scrambled, keep stirring gently for soft, creamy eggs.
- Tortilla Trick: Warm tortillas briefly to make them more flexible and prevent cracking when rolling. A dry skillet or microwave works perfectly.
- Customization is Key: Feel free to adjust the spice level by adding more or less jalapeño, or substituting with different peppers.
- Prep Ahead: You can cook bacon and prep ingredients the night before to make morning assembly quick and easy.
- Crispy Exterior Option: For an extra texture dimension, lightly toast the assembled burrito in a skillet for a golden, crispy outside.
- Hot Sauce Hack: Serve with various hot sauces on the side so everyone can customize their heat level.
