Steps to Make Breakfast Burritos
- Whisk together the eggs and milk.
- Add the chopped onions and peppers.
- Scramble the eggs in a greased skillet over medium heat. If the eggs cook too quickly, lower the temperature. You want to cook them low and slow to yield the fluffiest eggs.
- Heat a tortilla in another skillet. Sprinkle the cheese over the top to melt. Then, remove the tortilla from the heat and layer with the remaining burrito ingredients. Wrap and enjoy!
FAQs
Layer all of the ingredients on the bottom half of the tortilla. Fold in both sides, tuck and roll up.
Place them in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Roll the burritos tightly to keep out moisture. Wrap them in plastic wrap and then again in aluminum foil before storing in the refrigerator or freezer.
To reheat, remove any plastic wrap. The wrap them in foil, place on a baking sheet and bake in the oven at 350 degrees for 10 to 15 minutes or until heated through.
Breakfast burritos are the perfect make ahead breakfast. Serve them with a side of breakfast potatoes for a complete meal.
Kids and adults love them and you can prep everything in advance to save time. Add or substitute your other favorite burrito ingredients to make them your own.
