Breakfast burritos with eggs are tasty wraps filled with scrambled eggs and often cheese, meats, or veggies. They are perfect for a hearty and quick breakfast on the go.
I like wrapping mine tight so nothing spills out—it’s like a portable breakfast party! Sometimes I add hot sauce for a little extra kick.
For easy eating, wrap them in foil and warm in the oven or microwave. They stay warm and ready to enjoy anytime you need a quick, satisfying meal.
Ingredients & Substitutions
Eggs: Eggs are the main protein and give the burritos their fluffy texture. Use fresh eggs for the best fluffiness. If you want a creamier taste, add a splash of milk or water. For a vegan option, scrambled tofu works well.
Flour Tortillas: These hold all the fillings together and are soft and flexible. Look for fresh, large tortillas for easier wrapping. Whole wheat or low-carb tortillas can be used if you prefer a different flavor or fewer carbs.
Cheese: Cheese melts to add richness and binds the ingredients. Cheddar or Monterey Jack are popular, but feel free to swap with pepper jack or a mild Mexican blend. Use shredded cheese for quick melting.
Sausage or Bacon: Adds a meaty, smoky flavor. Cook until crispy and drain excess fat. For a healthier or vegetarian option, try cooked and crumbled turkey sausage or sautéed mushrooms.
Optional Veggies: Bell peppers, onions, and salsa add crunch and freshness. Sauté vegetables until tender for better flavor. For a diet-friendly version, add spinach or jalapeños for spice.
How do I scramble eggs without overcooking or sticking?
Start with a non-stick skillet on medium-low heat. Whisk eggs well to incorporate air for fluffiness. Pour eggs into the pan and let sit briefly, then gently stir with a spatula, pushing from edges inward. Remove from heat before they look fully set — they’ll finish cooking off heat.
- Use a non-stick pan and enough fat (like butter) for easier stirring.
- Cook slowly on medium-low to prevent drying out and sticking.
- Stir gently to keep eggs fluffy and moist.
- Remove from heat just before they set completely for a moist scramble.
