Ingredients
For the Breakfast Burrito
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk optional, for creamier eggs
- Salt and pepper to taste
- ½ cup shredded cheese cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite
- 2 large flour tortillas
- ½ cup cooked bacon sausage, or ham (chopped)

Optional Toppings and Add-Ins

Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients
- If using bacon or sausage, cook them first in a skillet over medium heat until crispy or fully cooked. Remove from the pan and set aside.
- Dice the vegetables (bell peppers, onions, etc.) and cook them in the same pan for 2-3 minutes until slightly soft. Remove and set aside.
Step 2: Cook the Eggs
- In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper.
- Heat a little butter or oil in the skillet over low-medium heat. Pour in the eggs and stir gently with a spatula until they are soft and fluffy. Remove from heat.
Step 3: Assemble the Burritos
- Warm the tortillas in the microwave for 10-15 seconds or in a dry pan for a few seconds on each side.
- Lay each tortilla flat and add a layer of cheese, followed by scrambled eggs, cooked meat, sautéed veggies, and any other toppings you like.
Step 4: Wrap and Serve
- Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to form a burrito.
- If you want a crispy finish, place the burrito seam-side down in the skillet for 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
- Serve immediately with salsa, sour cream, or avocado on the side.
