Instructions:
-
Prep Party: Grab your chopping board and dice that onion and bell pepper. No need to be fancy, just bite-sized pieces. Shred your cheese if it’s not already pre-shredded, and cube up any leftover ham or sausage.
-
Scramble Scramble: Whisk your eggs in a bowl with a pinch of salt and pepper. Heat your pan over medium heat with your chosen fat, then pour in the eggy goodness. Let it cook until it’s set but still a little moist – nobody likes dry eggs!
-
Flavor Builders: While your eggs are cooking, toss the diced onion and bell pepper into the pan. Sauté them for a few minutes until they’re softened and fragrant. Then add your diced ham or sausage and cook for another minute or two.
-
Burrito Bonanza: Warm up your tortillas – a quick zap in the microwave or a few seconds in a hot pan will do the trick. Divide your scrambled egg mixture evenly amongst the tortillas, then sprinkle with that delicious cheese.
-
The Grand Wrap-Up: Fold the sides of the tortillas over the filling, then fold the bottom edge up and over to create a burrito masterpiece. Roll it nice and tight so all that goodness stays inside.
-
Breakfast Bliss Awaits: Serve your breakfast burritos immediately for the ultimate hot and fresh experience. Leftovers? No problem! Wrap them individually in foil and store them in the fridge or freezer for later. Reheat in the microwave for a quick and satisfying breakfast on the go.
-
Top it Off (Optional): Now for the fun part – toppings! Salsa, diced avocado, sour cream, chopped cilantro – the choice is yours! Customize your breakfast burrito to your heart’s content.
Total active cooking time: 13-16 minutes
