Ingredients

  • 8 tortilla large
  • 8 egg large
  • 8 lices Bacon cooked and chopped, or sausage links
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded
  • ½ cup onion diced
  • ½ cup bell pepper diced
  • ½ cup diced tomatoes
  • ¼ cup cilantro optional, chopped, fresh
  • salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste
  • cooking oil for cooking, or butter
Optional Toppings
  • salsa
  • sour cream

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a large skillet, heat some cooking oil or melt butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and bell pepper, and sauté until they become soft and translucent.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until well beaten. Pour the eggs into the skillet with the onions and bell peppers. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are scrambled and cooked to your desired consistency.
  3. Season the scrambled eggs with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and set aside.
  4. Warm the tortillas in a microwave or on a griddle until they are soft and pliable.
  5. Place a tortilla on a flat surface and spoon some of the scrambled eggs onto the center of the tortilla. Add a portion of the cooked and chopped bacon or sausage on top of the eggs.
  6. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese, diced tomatoes, and chopped cilantro (if using) over the eggs and bacon.
  7. Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to create a burrito shape. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas and filling ingredients.
  8. Warm the assembled breakfast burritos in a skillet or on a griddle for a few minutes to melt the cheese and heat them through.
  9. Finally, serve the breakfast burritos with your choice of toppings such as salsa, sour cream, avocado slices, and hot sauce.

Notes

  • I love using Siete brand almond flour tortillas for this recipe.
  • For homemade tortillas, make these Gluten Free Tortillas.
  • Feel free to switch up the meat or veggies in this recipe.
  • These tortillas must be slightly heated up before wrapping.  Place them on a hot skillet or griddle to make them pliable.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Freeze for up to 2 months.
