Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • Cilantro (1/4 cup, chopped)
  • Avocado (1, sliced)
  • Salsa (1/2 cup)
  • Salt (to taste)
  • Pepper (to taste)
  • Onion (1 small, diced)
  • Bell peppers (1 cup, diced (use a mix of red, green, and yellow for color))
  • Cheddar cheese (1 cup, shredded)
  • Bacon (4 slices, cooked and crumbled)
  • Eggs (4, large)
  • Tortillas (4 (10-inch) flour or whole wheat)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs with salt and pepper until well combined.
  2. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and bell peppers. Sauté for about 5 minutes, or until softened and fragrant.
  3. Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet and pour in the beaten eggs. Allow the eggs to sit for a moment, then scramble them gently until fully cooked through.
  4. Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet over low heat or microwave them for about 20 seconds until soft and pliable.
  5. Assemble the burritos: Divide the scrambled eggs, crumbled bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, salsa, avocado slices, and chopped cilantro evenly among the tortillas.
  6. Fold the sides of each tortilla over the filling, then roll them up tightly from the bottom to form the burritos.
  7. Serve immediately with extra salsa on the side, if desired. Enjoy your delicious breakfast!
