These Bacon Egg Breakfast Burritos are savory morning wraps filled with crispy bacon, fluffy scrambled eggs, sautéed bell peppers and tomatoes, and melted cheddar cheese. Perfect for a quick breakfast, they can be enjoyed fresh or frozen for later convenience.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 6 strips bacon, chopped
  • 1 cup diced bell peppers
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes
  • 8 large eggs
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • Salt and ground black pepper to taste

Optional Additions

  • Hash browns
  • Hot sauce
  • Sliced avocado

Instructions

  1. Cook Bacon: Sauté the chopped bacon in a nonstick pan over medium heat until golden and crispy. Remove bacon from the pan and set aside on a plate lined with paper towel to drain excess fat.
  2. Sauté Vegetables: In the same pan, add diced bell peppers and tomatoes. Sauté for 2 to 3 minutes until slightly softened, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  3. Scramble Eggs: Whisk the eggs until well combined. Pour the eggs into the pan with the sautéed vegetables. Gently scramble the mixture over medium-low heat until eggs are fluffy and fully set.
  4. Add Bacon and Cheese: Return the crispy bacon to the pan, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the mixture, and fold gently to evenly distribute the ingredients. Season with salt and ground black pepper to taste.
  5. Warm Tortillas: Place the flour tortillas on a microwave-safe plate, cover with a damp paper towel, and microwave for about 20 seconds to soften them and make them pliable for rolling.
  6. Assemble Burritos: Spoon an even portion of the egg, bacon, and vegetable mixture onto each tortilla. Fold in the sides, then roll up tightly from the bottom, enclosing the filling completely.
  7. Toast Burritos: Place the burritos seam-side down in a clean dry pan over medium heat. Toast for 1 to 2 minutes per side until the tortillas are golden brown and crisp.
  8. Serve or Store: Serve immediately with optional hash browns, hot sauce, or sliced avocado. For later consumption, wrap the burritos tightly in foil and freeze for convenient reheating.

Notes

  • To reheat frozen burritos, remove foil and microwave or warm in a pan until heated through.
  • Customize fillings by adding sautéed onions, jalapeños, or different cheese types.
  • Use whole wheat tortillas for a healthier option.
  • Make sure tortillas are softened before rolling to prevent cracking.
  • Drain excess bacon fat to reduce greasiness if desired.
