How to make breakfast burritos
- cook bacon. Fry the bacon slices to your preferred crispiness (pan, bake, or air fry).
Pro tip: Pat your bacon with paper towels to remove excess fat that could make your burritos soggy.
- Stir the eggs. Whisk eggs with milk, salt and pepper. Heat the butter in a pan and boil the eggs.
- Assemble your breakfast burritos. Add 1/4 of the eggs, a slice of bacon, shredded cheese, sour cream, and salsa.
- Roll them up. Brush the edges of the tortillas with water and roll up tightly.
- Crunchy the sides. Heat a pan with oil and sear each side of your breakfast burrito until golden brown.
recipe tips
- Don’t overfill them.-Too many ingredients will cause the tortilla to tear, so play it safe when filling these burritos.
- Before wrapping, brush them with water. Don’t forget this step, because it ensures that your breakfast burritos seal tightly.
- minimize fat– After you’ve cooked the bacon, pat it dry to reduce the amount of fat going into your burritos.
- Make a double batch- Because these burritos freeze so well, make a double batch for another day when you need a quick and nutritious pre-made breakfast.
frequently asked Questions
To avoid a soggy breakfast burrito, don’t overcook the eggs as they can release moisture, don’t add too much milk to the eggs, and drain the liquid when you add the salsa. Also, make sure it’s completely cool when you wrap it to avoid condensation forming.
Add the filling to your tortilla, being careful not to overstuff it. Then fold the tortilla to cover the filling, fold both sides over until they also cover the filling, then roll up the tortilla tightly. Also, heating the tortilla will prevent it from tearing.
