Breakfast Burrito Wrap (Printable)

A satisfying flour tortilla filled with eggs, potatoes, cheese, and bacon or sausage for a hearty start.

# What You'll Need:

→ Proteins

01 - 4 large eggs
02 - 4 slices bacon or 4 breakfast sausages

→ Vegetables

03 - 2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
04 - 1 small onion, finely chopped
05 - 1 small bell pepper, diced

→ Dairy

06 - 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (100 grams)
07 - 2 tablespoons milk

→ Tortillas

08 - 4 large flour tortillas (10 inches)

→ Spices & Oils

09 - 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
10 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
11 - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
12 - 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)

# How-To Steps:

01 - Fry bacon or sausage in a skillet over medium heat until fully cooked and crisp. Drain on paper towels, then chop into bite-sized pieces.
02 - In the same skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of oil. Add diced potatoes, onion, bell pepper, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika if used. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are golden and tender, approximately 10 minutes. Remove from heat.
03 - Whisk eggs with milk, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Heat remaining 1 tablespoon of oil in a non-stick pan over medium-low heat. Pour in egg mixture and gently scramble until just set, avoiding overcooking.
04 - Warm tortillas individually in a dry pan over medium heat or microwave for 20 seconds until pliable.
05 - Place a quarter portion of cooked potatoes, scrambled eggs, meat, and shredded cheese at the center of each warm tortilla.
06 - Fold the sides of the tortilla inward and roll tightly from the bottom to enclose the filling, forming a burrito.
07 - Place burritos seam-side down in a dry skillet over medium heat. Grill for 2 minutes to crisp the exterior and seal the edges.
08 - Serve hot with optional salsa, hot sauce, avocado slices, or sour cream as desired.

# Top Tips:

01 -
  • It's a complete meal wrapped in one package, no side dishes needed.
  • Everything can be prepped the night before, making rushed mornings actually manageable.
  • You control the heat level, the cheese ratio, and whether you want crispy potatoes or soft ones.
02 -
  • Warm tortillas are non-negotiable—cold ones will crack and your burrito becomes a sad pile of components.
  • Don't overstuff; a quarter of each ingredient per burrito is enough, and it actually holds together better.
  • Slightly undercooked eggs will continue cooking from residual heat when you add hot potatoes and cheese; account for that.
03 -
  • Room-temperature burritos are easier to seal than cold ones; let the components rest for a minute if you're worried about tearing.
  • The seam always goes down first when you roll—it seals naturally and won't come undone.
