Bacon Egg Cheese Breakfast Burrito: An Amazing Ultimate Recipe


  • Author: Olivia
  • Total Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

– 4 large eggs
– 4 strips of bacon
– ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
– 4 large flour tortillas
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– 1 tablespoon butter or oil (for cooking eggs)
– Optional: salsa or hot sauce for serving


Instructions

Creating the perfect Bacon Egg Cheese Breakfast Burrito is straightforward with these easy-to-follow steps:

1. Cook the Bacon: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. This should take about 8-10 minutes. Once cooked, remove from the pan and let it drain on paper towels.
2. Scramble the Eggs: In the same skillet, reduce heat to low. Drain excess bacon fat, leaving a bit for flavor. Add butter or oil if needed. Crack the eggs into a bowl, whisk with salt and pepper, and pour into the skillet. Cook gently, stirring occasionally, until scrambled and just set.
3. Add Cheese: While the eggs are still warm in the skillet, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top. Allow it to melt slightly before removing from heat.
4. Prepare the Tortillas: Warm the flour tortillas in a separate skillet or microwave for easier folding.
5. Assemble the Burrito: On each tortilla, layer pieces of bacon, scrambled eggs with melted cheese, and add any additional toppings like salsa or hot sauce.
6. Roll the Burrito: Fold in the sides of the tortilla and then roll it up tightly from the bottom. Ensure it’s sealed well to keep the filling intact.
7. Optional – Toast the Burrito: Return the burrito to the skillet seam-side down. Cook for 1-2 minutes to brown the outer layer and create a crispy texture.
8. Serve: Cut the burrito in half for easy handling, if desired.

Following these steps will lead you to a delicious and satisfying breakfast that you can enjoy right away or save for later!
