Hearty Breakfast Burrito Wrap (Printable Version)

Fluffy eggs, crispy potatoes, cheese, and bacon or sausage wrapped in a warm tortilla, ideal for mornings.

# Ingredient List:

→ Proteins

01 - 4 large eggs
02 - 4 slices bacon or 4 breakfast sausages

→ Vegetables

03 - 2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
04 - 1 small onion, finely chopped
05 - 1 small bell pepper, diced

→ Dairy

06 - 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (100 g)
07 - 2 tablespoons milk

→ Tortillas

08 - 4 large flour tortillas, 10 inch (25 cm) diameter

→ Spices & Oils

09 - 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
10 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
11 - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
12 - 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)

# Steps:

01 - In a skillet over medium heat, cook bacon or sausage until browned and fully cooked. Remove from skillet, drain on paper towels, and chop into bite-sized pieces.
02 - Add 1 tablespoon of oil to the same skillet. Sauté diced potatoes, onion, and bell pepper with salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika if using, until vegetables are golden and tender, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
03 - Whisk eggs with milk, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Heat remaining tablespoon of oil in a non-stick pan, pour in egg mixture, and gently scramble until just set, then remove from heat.
04 - Heat the flour tortillas in a dry pan or microwave for 20 seconds until warm and pliable.
05 - Place equal portions of sautéed vegetables, scrambled eggs, cooked meat, and shredded cheddar cheese at the center of each tortilla.
06 - Fold the sides of each tortilla inward and roll tightly to enclose the filling, forming burritos.
07 - Place burritos seam-side down in a dry skillet and grill for 2 minutes to crisp and seal if desired.
08 - Serve burritos hot, optionally accompanied by salsa, hot sauce, avocado slices, or sour cream.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Everything comes together in under forty minutes, so you can actually sleep in and still have a proper breakfast.
  • It's nearly impossible to mess up, and every element tastes better when you've cooked it yourself rather than ordered it.
  • Leftovers freeze beautifully, which means breakfast for tomorrow is already solved.
02 -
  • Cold ingredients won't melt together properly, so warm your tortillas no matter how eager you are to eat—it changes everything about the texture and how well it holds.
  • The potato-to-egg ratio is crucial; too many potatoes and you'll be chewing more than eating, too few and the eggs become the whole burrito, which gets boring fast.
  • Overworking scrambled eggs makes them weep liquid and turn grainy, so the moment they look just barely set, stop stirring and move them to a plate.
03 -
  • Cook your potatoes until they actually have some color on the outside, not just until they're soft—that golden crust is where the flavor lives.
  • If you're feeding a crowd, cook everything in batches and keep the filled burritos warm wrapped in foil while you finish the others, so everyone eats at approximately the same time.
