Yields: 6 burritos
Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 15 minutes
Ingredients:
- 6 large flour tortillas
- 6 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk or cream
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon butter or oil
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a blend)
- Optional fillings: cooked and crumbled bacon or sausage, diced ham, sautéed onions and peppers, black beans, salsa, avocado
Equipment:
- Large skillet
- Whisk
- Spatula
Step 1: Whisk the Eggs
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk or cream until well combined and slightly frothy. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 2: Cook the Eggs
- Heat the butter or oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally with a spatula, until the eggs are set but still slightly moist.
Step 3: Warm the Tortillas
- While the eggs are cooking, warm the tortillas. You can do this in a dry skillet over medium heat for a few seconds per side, in the microwave wrapped in a damp paper towel, or in the oven wrapped in foil. This will make them more pliable and easier to roll.
Step 4: Assemble the Burritos
- Lay a warm tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spoon a portion of the scrambled eggs down the center of the tortilla.
- Top with shredded cheese and any other desired fillings.
Step 5: Roll the Burritos
- Fold in the sides of the tortilla over the filling.
- Then, starting from the bottom, tightly roll the burrito up and over the filling.
- Repeat with the remaining tortillas and fillings.
Step 6: Serve or Store
- Serve the breakfast burritos immediately while warm. You can enjoy them as is or with your favorite salsa, sour cream, or hot sauce.
- To store for later: Wrap each burrito individually in plastic wrap and then in aluminum foil. Store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months. To reheat, unwrap the foil and plastic wrap and microwave until heated through, or bake in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until warmed.
Pro Tips
✅ Freezer Hack: Wrap in parchment, then foil. Reheat in the oven at 350°F for 20 minutes.
✅ No-soak secret: Let hot fillings cool slightly before wrapping.
✅ Extra grip: Wrap twice in foil for mess-free eating.
