Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 large tortillas
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- 1 cup cooked and crumbled bacon or sausage
- 1/2 cup diced bell peppers
- 1/4 cup diced onions
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients on a clean surface. Ensure that your tortillas, eggs, cheese, cooked bacon or sausage, bell peppers, onions, salt, and pepper are ready for use.
- In a medium-sized bowl, crack the 6 large eggs and whisk them together until the yolks and whites are fully combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the diced onions and bell peppers. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes, or until the vegetables are soft and the onions are translucent.
- Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Stir gently with a spatula, cooking until the eggs are scrambled and fully cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the skillet from heat.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the scrambled egg mixture with the cooked and crumbled bacon or sausage, and 1 cup of shredded cheese. Stir until all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Take one large tortilla and place it on a clean surface or plate. Spoon a generous amount of the egg and filling mixture into the center of the tortilla, being careful not to overfill.
- To wrap the burrito, fold the sides of the tortilla inward over the filling, then roll the tortilla from the bottom up, tucking in the sides as you go to secure the filling inside. Repeat this process for the remaining tortillas and filling.
- Once all burritos are wrapped, you can choose to cook them immediately or freeze them for later. If cooking, heat a skillet over medium heat and place the burritos seam-side down. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and heated through.
- If you plan to freeze the burritos, wrap each one tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil and place them in a freezer-safe bag or container. Label with the date and store in the freezer for up to 3 months.
- To reheat frozen burritos, remove them from the freezer and unwrap. Microwave for 2-3 minutes, flipping halfway through, or reheat in an oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 20-25 minutes until warmed through.
Tips
- Ingredient Prep is Key: Cook your meats and chop your vegetables in advance to make assembly even quicker.
- Don't Overfill: Leave enough room at the edges of the tortilla to ensure a tight, neat wrap.
- Freezing Hack: Place parchment paper between burritos to prevent them from sticking together in the freezer.
- Cheese Tip: Use shredded cheese that melts easily for the best texture and flavor.
- Reheating Recommendation: For the crispiest results, use an air fryer or skillet to reheat frozen burritos instead of just microwaving.
- Customize Your Burrito: Feel free to swap ingredients based on your preferences - try different meats, add salsa, or include other vegetables.
- Storage Pro: Properly wrapped burritos can stay fresh in the freezer for up to 3 months, making meal prep a breeze!
