Many people start their mornings with a simple cup of coffee, but I believe a hearty breakfast is the perfect way to kick off your day. That’s why I’m excited to share my recipe for Hearty Breakfast Burritos that you’ll crave daily. These burritos are not just filling but also packed with delicious flavors and wholesome ingredients. So, let’s explore making this scrumptious breakfast treat!
To create these burritos, you will need to gather the following ingredients:
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup diced cooked potatoes (you can use hash browns or freshly boiled)
- ½ cup bell peppers (diced)
- ½ cup onion (diced)
- 1 cup cooked breakfast sausage or bacon (chopped)
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your favorite type)
- 4 large flour tortillas
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil for cooking
With your ingredients ready, let’s get started:
Step 1: In a large skillet, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the diced onions and bell peppers. Sauté until they become tender and slightly caramelized, which usually takes about 5 minutes.
Step 2: Add the cooked potatoes and breakfast sausage or bacon to the skillet. Cook for another 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally. It’s important to let the flavors meld together, so don’t rush this step.
Step 3: While the mixture is cooking, crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk them well. Season with salt and pepper according to your taste. Once the sausage and veggie mixture is ready, push everything to one side of the skillet, and pour the eggs into the empty space. Scramble the eggs until fully cooked, and then mix everything together in the skillet.
Step 4: Once our filling is cooked, it’s time to assemble the burritos. Lay a flour tortilla flat on a plate. Scoop a generous portion of the filling onto the center, then sprinkle with shredded cheese. Fold one side of the tortilla over the filling, then fold the ends in and roll it up tightly. Repeat this process for the remaining tortillas.
Step 5: For an extra crispy exterior, you can heat a little more olive oil in the skillet and gently toast the burritos on both sides until golden brown. This adds that satisfying crunch that takes your breakfast burrito to the next level!
Finally, you can serve these Hearty Breakfast Burritos with your favorite sauces or toppings, whether that be salsa, avocado, or sour cream. Trust me, once you make these, you’ll find yourself craving them daily! Enjoy your delicious breakfast treat, and share this recipe with anyone who needs a tasty start to their day.
