Breakfast burritos are hugely popular and for good reason, they are delicious! This is my own recipe for breakfast burritos.

My breakfast burrito does not use potatoes because I like it without potatoes. When I eat one of these burritos, I want to taste the eggs, cheese, and meat. I do think a great alternative to this would be to add some cooked hash brown potatoes or better yet, tater tots. If the potatoes are crisp, I think it makes a good burrito, otherwise, I just leave the out. If you want to add them just make sure you subtract from the other ingredients so that you can fold the tortilla.

Step 1: Ingredients

2 large flour or corn tortillas
6 eggs
1 ounces bacon, ham or sausage
1/2 c. pepper jack cheese, or your favorite cheese, shredded
2 tbsp. chopped green onions, raw
1/4 c. sauteed onions
1/4 c. sauteed mushrooms
1/2 c. jack cheese, shredded
1 tbsp. guacamole
2 tbsp. salsa
1 tbsp. sour cream
1 tbsp. olive oil
1/2 tsp. salt and pepper
1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper
1/4 tsp. chili powder
1/8 tsp. ground cumin
1/4 tsp. cilantro
1/4 c. diced tomato

Step 2: Prep Ingredients

Saute onions in olive oil for two minutes then add chopped mushrooms, salt, pepper, chili powder, cumin and Cheyenne pepper and saute for about another 5 to 10 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.

Cook bacon, sausage or ham if needed and set aside.

Scramble the eggs and set aside.

Step 3: Warm the Tortillas

Heat the tortillas by either wrapping them in some foil and placing them over a fire or heat source. Alternatively, you can place them in a clean dry frying pan and heat for about 30 seconds on each side. If you have an oven you can wrap in foil and place in a warm oven. Do not over heat them.

Step 4: Assemble Burritos

T ake one tortilla and place some of the eggs in the middle.
Add meat on top of the eggs.
Add the sauteed onions and mushrooms on top of the meat.
Add the pepper jack cheese to taste.

Step 5: Fold the Tortilla

Fold the tortilla by folding in the sides about a quarter ways to the center. Fold the side closest to you over the side folds while scooping the ingredients into the tortilla as you rolling it shut.

Step 6: Repeat

Repeat making the burritos until the desired number are built or there are no more ingredients.

Step 7: Wrap and Heat

Wrap in foil and place over low to medium heat for about 5 minutes or until reheated, your oven works great for this. Alternatively, you can place a frying pan over medium to medium-low heat. Add some not stick spray and place the burrito in the pan. Cook on at least two sides, four sides is better, until golden brown.
