Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 6 Large Flour Tortillas (or 10 taco size tortillas for smaller burritos)
  • 6 Slices of Bacon
  • 1 Tablespoon Butter
  • 6 Large Eggs
  • A splash of milk (optional, for fluffier eggs)
  • ½ Cup Mexican Shredded Cheese Blend

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Bake Bacon: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper, letting it overhang the sides. Arrange the bacon slices flat on the sheet, allowing the edges to touch if needed. Bake the bacon for about 20 minutes until it reaches your desired crispiness.
  2. Prepare Scrambled Eggs: In a non-stick skillet set over low heat, add the butter or some reserved bacon grease. Crack the eggs into a bowl, whisk well with a splash of milk if using, then pour into the skillet. Cook gently without sizzling, moving the eggs slowly with a spatula every 30 seconds. Turn off the heat just before the eggs are fully set and season with salt and pepper. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Warm Tortillas: Heat the flour tortillas in the microwave for 20-30 seconds to make them pliable and easy to wrap.
  4. Assemble Burritos: Layer scrambled eggs, Mexican cheese blend, and bacon slices on each warmed tortilla. Wrap tightly into burritos. If eating immediately, add condiments like salsa, hot sauce, or sliced avocado. Toast the wrapped burrito on a hot skillet to achieve a crisp exterior.
  5. Freeze Burritos: Allow the eggs and bacon to cool completely before assembling burritos for freezing. Wrap each burrito tightly in plastic wrap or foil, then place in a large zip-top bag or freezer-safe container. Label with the date and freeze for up to 3 months.
  6. Reheat Burritos: To enjoy a frozen burrito, remove the wrapping and microwave on a microwave-safe plate for 1-2 minutes until heated through. For a crispy finish, toast the burrito on a hot skillet after microwaving. Add fresh toppings as desired.
