Description

Hearty bacon egg and cheese breakfast burritos bring morning comfort from North American kitchens. Crispy bacon, fluffy eggs, and melted cheese wrapped in warm tortillas create a satisfying meal you’ll crave any time of day.


Ingredients

Scale

Main Protein Ingredients:

  • 8 large eggs
  • 8 slices cooked bacon

Cheese and Wrap Ingredients:

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 4 flour tortillas (10 inch)

Seasoning Ingredients:

  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat a spacious skillet over medium-high heat, applying a light coating of cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking.
  2. Crack eggs directly into the heated skillet, gently stirring and cooking for approximately 5 minutes until they reach a soft, slightly moist consistency.
  3. Arrange tortillas on a clean surface, methodically distributing scrambled eggs, sprinkled cheddar cheese, and crispy bacon strips across each wrap.
  4. Carefully fold the tortilla sides inward, creating a secure envelope, then roll tightly to seal the burrito’s contents.
  5. Individually wrap each burrito in plastic film, ensuring complete coverage for optimal preservation.
  6. For frozen storage: When ready to consume, microwave each burrito for 1 minute per side, rotating to guarantee even heating.
  7. For refrigerated burritos: Reheat by microwaving 30 seconds on each side until warmed through.
  8. Optional: Enhance flavor by serving with your preferred hot sauce or additional garnishes.

Notes

  • Cheese Variations Experiment with different cheese types like pepper jack, Swiss, or goat cheese to add unique taste dimensions.
  • Meal Prep Magic Prepare multiple batches and freeze for quick, protein-packed breakfasts throughout the week, saving time and ensuring convenient morning meals.
