Servings: 4 burritos
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tbsp olive oil or butter
- ½ cup bell peppers, diced (feel free to use a mix of colors)
- ½ cup onions, diced
- ½ cup spinach (or any leafy greens you’ve got)
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a mix—your call)
- 4 large flour tortillas (or whole wheat, if you’re feeling healthy)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional add-ins: salsa, avocado, sour cream, or hot sauce
Instructions
- Cook the Veggies:
- Heat the olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced bell peppers and onions, sautéing for about 3–4 minutes until they’re soft and a little golden. If you’re adding spinach, toss it in at the end for a minute or two until it wilts.
- Scramble the Eggs:
- In a bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them up with a pinch of salt and pepper. Pour the eggs into the skillet with the veggies and cook, stirring occasionally, until they’re just set and fluffy. Be careful not to overcook—scrambled eggs should be soft and creamy!
- Assemble the Burritos:
- Warm the tortillas in a separate skillet or microwave for 15–20 seconds to make them more pliable. Once warm, lay them flat on a clean surface. Spoon some of the scrambled egg mixture onto the center of each tortilla, and top with shredded cheese.
- Wrap It Up:
- To roll, fold the sides of the tortilla inwards, then roll it up tightly from the bottom. You should now have a perfectly wrapped burrito ready for action.
- Optional: Toast the Burritos (for extra crispy goodness):
- For a little extra crunch, heat the burritos in the skillet for 1–2 minutes on each side to give them a golden, crispy exterior.
- Serve and Enjoy:
- Slice in half and serve with your favorite breakfast condiments like salsa, avocado, or a drizzle of sour cream. If you want to go wild, a splash of hot sauce will take your breakfast burrito to a whole new level.
