Ingredients

Scale

Wraps

  • 4 soft flour tortillas (or whole wheat/low-carb/gluten-free tortillas as preferred)

Egg Filling

  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Monterey Jack recommended)

Vegetables

  • 1/2 cup chopped bell peppers
  • 1/2 cup chopped onions
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped (to taste)

Meat

  • 1/2 cup cooked breakfast meat (sausage, bacon, or ham), chopped

Salsa

  • 1/2 cup fresh or store-bought salsa (or homemade with diced tomatoes, onions, cilantro, lime juice, and salt)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Salsa: Start with fresh or store-bought salsa to save time. If making your own, combine diced tomatoes, onions, chopped cilantro, lime juice, and a pinch of salt to create a refreshing, zesty base.
  2. Cook the Filling: In a skillet, sauté chopped bell peppers and onions until softened and slightly caramelized. Add cooked breakfast meat, then pour lightly beaten eggs into the skillet. Stir gently, cooking until eggs are just set but still moist.
  3. Warm the Tortillas: Heat the tortillas briefly in a dry pan or microwave until soft and pliable, ensuring they won’t crack or tear during assembly.
  4. Assemble the Burrito: Lay a warm tortilla flat on a surface. Layer scrambled eggs, sautéed veggies, cooked meat, a generous sprinkle of shredded cheese, and a spoonful of salsa. Fold the edges tightly to enclose all fillings completely.
  5. Toast for Extra Flavor (Optional): Place the burrito seam-side down in a hot skillet. Toast until golden brown and crispy on both sides, enhancing texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Use fresh salsa whenever possible for the best flavor impact.
  • Avoid overcooking the eggs; remove from heat when slightly underdone to keep them soft and moist.
  • Warm tortillas properly to ease wrapping and improve taste.
  • Balance the fillings — don’t overstuff to prevent the burrito from bursting.
  • Reheat leftovers in a skillet or oven to maintain texture instead of using a microwave.
