Bacon Breakfast Burrito
Description
This recipe starts by preparing the chipotle aioli made from mayonnaise, lemon juice, chipotle adobo sauce, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, and salt to add a smoky and spicy element. Bacon is cooked until crisp and chopped. Eggs are scrambled with olive oil or butter and seasoned with salt and pepper. Large flour tortillas are warmed briefly for flexibility, then filled with eggs, bacon, cheese, and drizzled with the chipotle aioli.
Each burrito is folded and rolled tightly, then cooked seam-side down in a pan with a little oil until browned on both sides. This cooking step helps seal the burrito and adds a slight crisp texture to the tortilla.
The burritos are well-suited to a filling breakfast or brunch. The combination of smoky bacon, soft eggs, melted cheese, and spicy aioli gives a complex flavor. Homemade aioli can be stored for condiments or extra drizzling.

- Add eggs to a greased pan heated to medium heat and scramble until cooked through. Transfer cooked eggs to a large bowl.
- For easy burrito assembly warm each tortilla in the microwave for 20 seconds to steam it before filling/rolling since they're easier to fold when warm.
- For each burrito, warm tortilla and arrange eggs, bacon, and cheese in the center of each tortilla. Drizzle with chipotle aioli. Fold and roll until sealed. Place seam-side down.
- Ready to eat? Bring a pan to medium heat with a little oil to prevent sticking. Once the pan is hot, add the burritos, seam side down and cook for about 3 minutes each side or until burritos are hot in the center and golden on the outside! Serve with additional chipotle sauce. They're also great with salsa and sour cream. Enjoy!
