Veggie Breakfast Burritos
Description
Veggie Breakfast Burritos rely on sautéing diced red bell pepper, onion, and jalapeño to soften and boost their flavors before combining with scrambled eggs. The eggs are cooked gently to a fluffy texture and then folded together with the sautéed vegetables and grated cheddar or pepper jack cheese. Warmed large flour tortillas are used to wrap the filling, providing a soft and pliable exterior for easy rolling. This recipe includes seasoning with salt and black pepper to taste during cooking.
The burritos bring together the sweet and mild heat from the peppers with creamy eggs and cheese, delivering a balanced and comforting breakfast option. The filling is juicy but not overly wet, allowing the tortillas to hold without becoming soggy. These burritos can be served immediately or wrapped for later consumption.
Warming the tortillas briefly before assembly makes them more flexible and easier to roll without tearing. The recipe suggests preparing ingredients ahead to make assembly faster. This dish is suitable to enjoy with salsa, hot sauce, or alongside fresh fruit for a complete meal.
Ingredients
- ½ cup red bell pepper diced
- ¼ cup onion any type, diced
- 1 jalapeno pepper
- 2-3 tsp oil use as needed, or butter
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 6 egg
- 4 oz cheese cheddar, pepepr jack, or mex blend, grated
- 4 flour tortilla large "burrito-sized"
Instructions
- First prep all your ingredients for speedier burrtio assembly. Crack eggs into a large bowl and whisk, chop peppers and onion, and grate cheese if not using pre-shredded.
- Heat a large skillet to medium-high heat with a drizzle or so of oil or butter. Sauté peppers and onion until tender. Season with a teeny pinch of salt and pepper. Remove from pan and transfer to a large bowl.
- Return pan to heat and add a little more oil or butter to coat the pan.
- Heat a pan with oil/butter to medium heat, add eggs, and scramble until cooked through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Transfer eggs to veggie bowl and gently fold/mix together.
- For easy burrito assembly warm each tortilla in the microwave for 20 seconds to steam it before filling/rolling. They're much easier to fold once warmed.
- Arrange a scoop of eggs with veggies on warmed tortilla. Sprinkle with cheese and fold/roll until sealed.
- Place seam-side down and repeat for remaining tortillas.
- 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 pe. side or until burritos are hot in the center and lightly crisp on the outside. Serve with sour cream and salsa (if desired) and enjoy!
