Breakfast Burrito: The Ultimate Morning Meal


  • Author: Jennie Graham
  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 2 burritos 1x

Description

This hearty Breakfast Burrito is packed with scrambled eggs, sausage, cheese, and veggies, all wrapped up in a warm tortilla—perfect for a quick, on-the-go breakfast!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 sausage links or 2 strips of bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1 small red bell pepper, diced
  • ¼ cup onion, diced
  • 1 tablespoon butter or oil
  • 2 large flour tortillas
  • ¼ avocado, sliced (optional)
  • Salsa or hot sauce (optional)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  • Sauté the veggies: Heat the butter or oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and red bell pepper, and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  • Scramble the eggs: In the same skillet, whisk the eggs with salt and pepper. Pour into the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are fully scrambled and set, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Assemble the burrito: Lay each tortilla flat. Divide the scrambled eggs, crumbled sausage or bacon, sautéed veggies, and shredded cheese between the two tortillas. Add sliced avocado if using.
  • Roll it up: Fold the sides of the tortilla in, then roll the burrito tightly from the bottom up, securing all the fillings inside.
  • Heat and serve: Place the rolled burritos back in the skillet seam-side down, and heat for 1-2 minutes per side until golden and crispy. Serve with salsa or hot sauce.

Notes

  • You can easily make these ahead of time and freeze them. Wrap each burrito in foil and store in the freezer for up to 3 months. To reheat, unwrap and microwave for 2-3 minutes, or bake in the oven at 350°F for 15-20 minutes.
  • Customize by adding extras like black beans, spinach, or hash browns.
