These Classic Breakfast Burritos feature fluffy scrambled eggs, crispy bacon, melted cheddar cheese, and golden pan-fried potatoes, all wrapped in warm flour tortillas. Ideal for a satisfying breakfast or meal prep for busy mornings.

  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 6 burritos

Ingredients

Egg Mixture

  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Meat

  • 6 slices bacon (or sausage, diced)

Vegetables & Add-ins

  • 2 medium potatoes, diced and pan-fried (or 1 1/2 cups frozen hash browns)
  • 1/4 cup chopped onion (optional)

Cheese

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Other

  • 6 large flour tortillas
  • 2 tablespoons butter or oil for cooking

Instructions

  1. Cook Bacon: In a skillet, cook the bacon slices until crisp. Remove the bacon and set aside. Drain most of the grease from the pan, leaving a small amount for flavor.
  2. Cook Potatoes: Add the diced potatoes (or hash browns) to the skillet and cook until they turn golden brown and tender. Remove them from the pan and set aside.
  3. Prepare Egg Mixture: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until combined and slightly frothy.
  4. Scramble Eggs: Melt butter in the skillet over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture and cook while stirring gently until the eggs are fluffy and fully cooked.
  5. Warm Tortillas: Warm the flour tortillas either in a dry skillet for a few seconds on each side or in the microwave until soft and pliable.
  6. Assemble Burritos: On each tortilla, layer the cooked potatoes, scrambled eggs, crispy bacon, and shredded cheddar cheese evenly.
  7. Roll Burritos: Fold in the sides of the tortilla and then roll it tightly into a burrito shape, ensuring all the filling is securely wrapped.
  8. Serve or Store: Serve the burritos immediately while warm, or wrap them in foil or plastic wrap for storage in the refrigerator or freezer as desired.

Notes

  • Make-ahead: Wrap burritos tightly in foil and refrigerate up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
  • Variations: Substitute bacon with sausage, ham, or for a vegetarian option, omit meat or use plant-based protein substitutes.
  • Toppings: Enhance flavor by adding salsa, hot sauce, sliced avocado, or a dollop of sour cream when serving.
