Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 30 mins
Total Time: 45 mins
Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: 8 burritos
Ingredients
- 8 large flour tortillas
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup cooked sausage or bacon, crumbled
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- 1/2 cup bell peppers, diced
- 1/2 cup onion, diced
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Gather all your ingredients: 8 large flour tortillas, 6 large eggs, 1 cup of cooked sausage or bacon (crumbled), 1 cup of shredded cheese, 1/2 cup of diced bell peppers, 1/2 cup of diced onion, salt, and pepper.
- In a large skillet, add the diced onions and bell peppers. Sauté over medium heat for about 5 minutes, or until the onions become translucent and the peppers are tender.
- Add the crumbled sausage or bacon to the skillet and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- In a separate bowl, crack the 6 large eggs and whisk them until fully combined. Pour the eggs into the skillet with the sausage and vegetables.
- Cook the egg mixture over medium heat, gently stirring occasionally, until the eggs are fully cooked and scrambled, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Lay out the 8 large flour tortillas on a clean surface. Evenly distribute the egg mixture onto the center of each tortilla.
- Sprinkle 1/8 cup of shredded cheese over the egg mixture in each tortilla.
- To wrap the burritos, fold in the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll from the bottom up to secure the filling inside. Make sure to wrap tightly to prevent any filling from escaping.
- Once all burritos are wrapped, you can either serve them immediately or prepare them for freezing.
- If freezing, wrap each burrito individually in aluminum foil or plastic wrap, and place them in a freezer-safe bag or container. Label with the date and contents.
- To reheat, remove the burrito from the wrap and place it on a microwave-safe plate. Heat in the microwave for 2-3 minutes, or until heated through. Alternatively, you can reheat them in an oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15-20 minutes.
Tips
- Customize Your Fillings: Feel free to switch up the ingredients! Add in your favorite veggies like spinach or tomatoes, or swap the sausage for a vegetarian option like black beans for a healthier twist.
- Perfectly Scrambled Eggs: For fluffy scrambled eggs, whisk them well before adding to the skillet and cook them gently over medium heat, stirring occasionally to avoid overcooking.
- Wrap It Right: Make sure to wrap your burritos tightly to prevent any filling from escaping. This will help keep them intact when freezing or reheating.
- Freezing Made Easy: When freezing, use aluminum foil or plastic wrap to individually wrap each burrito. This not only keeps them fresh but also makes it easy to grab one on the go.
- Reheating Tips: For the best reheating results, microwave the burrito for 2-3 minutes or bake in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 15-20 minutes. This way, you’ll enjoy a warm, cheesy breakfast just like it was freshly made.
- Meal Prep Magic: Consider making a double batch and freezing half for future breakfasts! You'll thank yourself on those busy mornings when a delicious burrito is just a microwave away.
