Veggie Breakfast Burritos

Veggie Breakfast Burritos combine sautéed red bell pepper, onion, and jalapeño with scrambled eggs and melted cheese all wrapped in large flour tortillas. The mixture offers a tender bite from cooked vegetables and fluffy eggs, balanced by the creamy melted cheese inside the warm tortilla. These burritos can be made ahead and warmed, making them handy for a filling breakfast or brunch.

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Return pan to heat and add a little more oil or butter to coat the pan.
  4. Heat a pan with oil/butter to medium heat, add eggs, and scramble until cooked through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Transfer eggs to veggie bowl and gently fold/mix together.
  6. 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.
  7. Arrange a scoop of eggs with veggies on warmed tortilla. Sprinkle with cheese and fold/roll until sealed.
  8. Place seam-side down and repeat for remaining tortillas.
  9. 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!

Notes

  • Prepare all vegetables and grate cheese before starting to speed up assembly.
  • Warm tortillas in the microwave for 20 seconds before filling to make rolling easier.
  • Season eggs and sautéed veggies with salt and pepper to enhance flavor.
  • Serve immediately for best texture or wrap and reheat gently.
