Pro Tips for the Perfect Breakfast Burrito
For a healthier option, swap the bacon for turkey bacon or a vegetarian protein substitute.
Customize your burrito by adding other vegetables like mushrooms, spinach, or zucchini for extra flavor.
If you prefer spicier burritos, use spicy salsa or add a few dashes of hot sauce to the egg mixture while cooking.
For extra creaminess, try adding a spoonful of guacamole or a drizzle of ranch dressing inside the burrito.
To make the burritos ahead of time, wrap them in foil and refrigerate them for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
Add some crispy hash browns or tater tots to the burrito for extra crunch and heartiness.
If you’re not a fan of flour tortillas, you can use whole wheat, spinach, or gluten-free tortillas instead.

1/4 cup diced onion
07
1/4 cup diced tomatoes
08
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
09
1 tablespoon olive oil or butter

Salt and pepper to taste

1/2 avocado, sliced
12
1 tablespoon sour cream (optional)
13
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon cumin
15
1/4 teaspoon paprika
16
2 tablespoons salsa (optional)
17
Hot sauce to taste (optional)
18
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice (optional)

Instructions

01
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy, about 4-5 minutes per side. Once cooked, remove from the skillet and drain on paper towels. Crumble the bacon into small pieces.
02
In the same skillet, add the olive oil or butter. Add the diced bell pepper, onion, and tomatoes, and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened.
03
In a bowl, whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt, pepper, garlic powder, cumin, and paprika. Pour the eggs into the skillet with the vegetables, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are scrambled and fully cooked, about 3-4 minutes.
04
Remove the skillet from the heat. Warm the flour tortillas in the microwave or on a dry skillet over medium heat for about 20-30 seconds on each side.
05
To assemble the burritos, place a warm tortilla on a flat surface. Add the scrambled egg mixture in the center, followed by crumbled bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, and fresh cilantro.
06
Top with sliced avocado, a dollop of sour cream (optional), salsa, and hot sauce if desired. Drizzle with fresh lime juice.
07
Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it up tightly to form a burrito. Serve immediately, and enjoy your classic breakfast burrito!
