Recipe
Breakfast Burritos
These make-ahead burritos are a game-changer for busy mornings, saving you time and money while keeping you full and energized. These protein-packed burritos are easy and customizable.
Ingredients
- 6 medium tortillas (burritos sized)
- 6 large eggs
- 1/4 cup of milk (optional, for fluffier eggs)
- 1 cup of shredded cheese (cheddar, pepper jack, or your favorite)
- 6 slices cooked Bacon, crumbled (or 1/2 lb cooked sausage, or ham)
- 1 cup cooked hash browns (or diced potatoes)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder (optional)
- 1 Tablespoon butter for cooking eggs (substitute with bacon grease or oil)
Instructions
Cooking the eggs
- In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- Heat butter, or oil in a skillet over medium heat, then scramble the eggs until just set. Remove from heat.
Assemble the Burritos
- Lay out each tortilla and evenly divide the scrambled eggs, cheese, cooked bacon (sausage or ham), and hash browns.
- Fold in the sides, then roll tightly into a burrito
Notes
I found it easier to fold the tortillas if I heated them up slightly before folding them.
Customizing Ideas
- Add veggies: Bell peppers, onions, or spinach for extra nutrients.
- Spice it up: Add salsa, hot sauce, or jalapenos
- Protein swap: Use ham, sausage chorizo, or tofu for a variety
