Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 4 strips crispy bacon or 4 sausage links (optional)
  • 1 cup fresh salsa
  • 1 cup diced bell peppers
  • 1 cup diced onions
  • 1 cup cooked black beans
  • 1 avocado or 1/2 cup guacamole
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Optional Garnishes

  • Chopped fresh cilantro
  • Lime wedges
  • Cotija cheese

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Filling: Begin by sautéing diced bell peppers and onions in a little oil over medium heat until soft and fragrant. If using bacon or sausage, cook until crispy and set aside. In a bowl, scramble the eggs with salt and pepper, then cook them gently until fluffy and just set.
  2. Warm the Tortillas: Warm each flour tortilla individually in a dry skillet over medium heat for 20-30 seconds per side or wrap them in foil and heat in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5 minutes. This makes tortillas pliable and easier to roll without tearing.
  3. Assemble the Burrito: Lay a warm tortilla flat on a plate. Layer the scrambled eggs, cooked bacon or sausage (if using), sautéed bell peppers and onions, black beans, and shredded cheddar cheese. Add a spoonful of fresh salsa and slices of avocado or a dollop of guacamole on top.
  4. Roll it Up: Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll tightly from one end to the other, ensuring the filling remains snug inside. For extra security and added crispness, toast the burrito seam-side down in a skillet over medium heat for 1-2 minutes until golden brown and sealed.

Notes

  • Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor and texture.
  • Don’t overfill the burrito to prevent it from being messy and hard to eat.
  • Warm tortillas well to make rolling easier and avoid tearing.
  • Place wetter ingredients like salsa in the center to keep the tortilla from becoming soggy.
  • Feel free to swap cheddar cheese with Monterey Jack, queso fresco, or pepper jack for different flavors.
