Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 slices of bacon
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or cheese of your choice)
- 4 flour tortillas
- 1 tablespoon butter
- Optional: salsa, avocado, or hot sauce for serving
Substitution suggestions: For a healthier twist, you could use turkey bacon or even substitute spinach for a vegetarian option. Don’t be afraid to get creative!
Instructions
- Start by cooking the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain. Remember, the sound of bacon sizzling always takes me back to my childhood!
- In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined. This step is crucial for fluffy eggs, a trick I learned from my abuela who never skipped on whisking.
- In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the egg mixture and cook, stirring gently, until the eggs are just set but still soft.
- Warm the tortillas in the microwave for about 20 seconds to make them pliable, a tip I picked up from making countless tortillas with my family.
- Assemble the burritos by placing a scoop of scrambled eggs onto each tortilla. Top with bacon slices and a generous sprinkle of cheese.
- Roll up the tortillas, tucking in the sides as you go, to create a neat burrito.
- If you prefer a crispy finish, you can toast the rolled burritos on a dry skillet for about 1-2 minutes on each side until golden brown.
