Ingredients (For 2 Burritos)

• 2 large flour tortillas – soft and flexible
• 2 eggs – beaten for fluffy scrambled eggs
• 2 strips bacon – cooked until crispy
• 2 ounces breakfast sausage – browned and crumbled
• 2 ounces diced ham – lightly seared
• ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese – sharp cheddar preferred
• 2 tablespoons diced onion – optional, for flavor
• 1 tablespoon butter or oil – for cooking eggs
• Salt and pepper – to taste
• Salsa or hot sauce – optional, for serving

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1 – Cook the Meats

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until golden and crisp. Remove and place on a paper towel-lined plate. In the same pan, cook the breakfast sausage until browned, breaking it into small crumbles. Add diced ham and sear for 1 minute to enhance its flavor. Cooking all meats in the same skillet layers the savory flavors.

Step 2 – Scramble the Eggs

In a separate nonstick pan, melt butter over low heat. Add the beaten eggs and cook slowly, stirring gently until they’re soft and fluffy. Season with salt and pepper. Low heat prevents overcooking and keeps the eggs tender.

Step 3 – Warm the Tortillas

Heat each tortilla for about 10–15 seconds per side in a dry skillet, or wrap them in foil and warm in the oven. Warm tortillas are less likely to tear and wrap more easily.

Step 4 – Assemble the Burritos

Place a tortilla on a flat surface. Layer the scrambled eggs, cooked meats, and shredded cheddar cheese in the center. If using onions, sprinkle them evenly. Fold the sides inward, then roll tightly from the bottom up.

Step 5 – Toast for a Restaurant-Style Finish

Place the burritos seam-side down in a clean skillet and toast for 1–2 minutes per side until golden brown. This step melts the cheese and adds a slight crunch to the tortilla.

Pro Tips for Perfect Breakfast Burritos

• Use fresh tortillas – Stale tortillas can crack; warm them to make rolling easier.
• Control the heat – Overcooked eggs can make the burrito dry; cook them low and slow.
• Balance the filling – Too much moisture (like watery salsa inside) can cause sogginess.
• Make-ahead convenience – Wrap cooked burritos in foil and freeze for up to a month.

Variations You Can Try

• Spicy Southwest Style: Add jalapeños, chipotle mayo, or pepper jack cheese.
• Health-Conscious Version: Use whole wheat tortillas, turkey bacon, and egg whites.
• Vegetarian: Swap the meats for sautéed mushrooms, peppers, and black beans.
• Double Meat: Add extra bacon and sausage for a truly indulgent breakfast.

Serving Suggestions

Pair your burrito with:

• Fresh fruit salad for a balanced meal
• Hash browns or home fries for a diner-style breakfast
• A glass of cold orange juice or a hot cup of coffee
