Quick and easy breakfast burritos featuring fluffy scrambled eggs, crispy bacon, sautéed veggies, and melted cheddar cheese wrapped in warm tortillas. Perfect for camping or a satisfying morning meal at home.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs, room temperature
  • 4 large (10-inch) whole wheat or flour tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 6 slices crispy bacon, cooked and chopped
  • 1/2 cup diced bell peppers (red or green)
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon butter or olive oil
  • Salsa or hot sauce, for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cook the bacon: Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook bacon slices until crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Transfer to paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease. Chop into bite-sized pieces. Save a teaspoon of bacon fat for sautéing veggies if desired.
  2. Sauté the veggies: In the same skillet, add butter or reserved bacon fat. Add diced onions and bell peppers. Cook until soft and fragrant, about 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and set aside.
  3. Prepare the scrambled eggs: Crack eggs into a bowl, season with salt and pepper, and whisk until blended. Heat skillet over low-medium heat and add butter or oil. Pour in eggs and let sit for a few seconds without stirring. Once edges start to set, gently fold eggs with a spatula, cooking for 3-4 minutes until fluffy and just set but still moist. Remove from heat.
  4. Warm the tortillas: Place tortillas on grill grate or skillet for 15-20 seconds per side until warm and pliable.
  5. Assemble the burritos: Lay a tortilla flat. Spoon scrambled eggs in the center, followed by sautéed veggies and chopped bacon. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese and fresh cilantro on top. Add salsa or hot sauce if desired.
  6. Wrap it up: Fold sides of tortilla over filling and roll tightly from one end to the other. Wrap in foil if desired to keep warm or for transport.
  7. Final heat (optional): Place wrapped burrito back in skillet or over campfire grill for 1-2 minutes per side to lightly toast tortilla and melt cheese.

Notes

For creamy scrambled eggs, cook low and slow, stirring gently. Warm tortillas briefly to prevent tearing. Prepare bacon and veggies ahead to save time. Burritos can be made ahead and refrigerated or frozen. For gluten-free, use gluten-free tortillas or large lettuce leaves. For vegan, replace eggs with scrambled tofu and use vegan cheese and tempeh bacon.
