Bacon and Egg Breakfast Burrito

Breakfast burritos emerged from New Mexican and Tex-Mex cuisine in the mid-20th century, combining the portable flour tortilla with classic American breakfast fillings like eggs and bacon. They became especially popular in the American Southwest before spreading nationwide as a grab-and-go morning staple.

Hearty, portable, and packed with breakfast favorites

Scrambled eggs, crispy bacon, cheese, and potatoes are wrapped in a warm flour tortilla for a filling, on-the-go breakfast.

Step by stepInstructions

  1. Whisk the eggs with salt and pepper and scramble in a skillet over medium heat.
  2. Warm the tortillas slightly to make them pliable.
  3. Layer each tortilla with scrambled eggs, bacon, potatoes, and cheese.
  4. Fold in the sides and roll tightly into a burrito.
  5. Warm seam-side down in a dry skillet for 1-2 minutes to seal.
  6. Serve with salsa.

💡 Chef tips & storage

Wrap burritos in foil for easy on-the-go eating, or freeze extras for busy mornings. Don't overfill the tortillas or they'll be difficult to roll and seal.
