I am often asked why my breakfast recipes, such as Vegetable Frittata and Breakfast Baskets are vegetarian. Don't get me wrong. I love bacon.
Actually, if it wasn’t for my Candy Bacon recipe, I probably would have
never started writing this blog. I
couldn’t go anywhere without people asking me for that recipe. Although I love bacon, when I add it to some
dishes or sandwiches, like these Breakfast Burritos, I don’t taste anything but
the bacon, so I choose to eat my bacon on the side.
I started making Breakfast Burritos when
summer was over and I needed some quick and easy, go-to-breakfasts while
rushing to get out in the morning. I
typically make 8 of them at a time because that’s how many tortilla wraps are
in the package. To freeze, wrap them individually
in plastic wrap and place most of them in the freezer. Be sure to have one or two in the
refrigerator, where they can stay fresh for several days. I fill them with what I like to eat, but feel
free to add cooked breakfast meats and/or other vegetables that you prefer.
Ingredients:
§ 1 package flour tortillas (8)
§ 8 eggs
§ 1/4 cup milk or half and half
§ 2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
§ 4 tablespoons butter
§ 2 - 3 cups grated cheese
§ 2 - 3 cups chopped vegetables
Optional:
§ Cooked Breakfast meat (sausage or bacon), optional
Directions:
In a medium sized bowl, add eggs,
milk and half of the salt and beat well.
Over medium heat, melt 1 teaspoon butter in a skillet and add 1/2 cup of
the egg mixture. On a separate skillet,
warm one tortilla to soften.
When the
egg sets, flip and cook for another 30 seconds.
Place the cooked egg onto the
softened tortilla. Sprinkle with
vegetables, cheese and salt.
Wrap the
tortilla by folding in the sides towards the center and roll into a cylinder
shape.
To serve immediately, in a
skillet, slowly brown the outside on the burrito while melting the cheese on
the inside. To store, wrap each burrito
tightly in plastic wrap and freeze until ready to use. For a printer friendly copy of this recipe, go
