Ingredients
- 2 tsp olive oil
- 1 medium red pepper diced
- 1 cup diced back bacon
- 8 eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 3 tbsp diced green onion
- 6 large whole-grain tortillas
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Over medium high heat, heat 1 tsp of the oil. Cook red pepper until fragrant, about 5 minutes. Add the diced bacon and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently. Set mixture aside in a bowl or on a plate.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt and pepper. In the same pan, heat the remaining teaspoon of oil over medium high heat. Add the egg mixture to the pan and cook until mostly set, stirring frequently, about 5-6 minutes. It should resemble scrambled eggs.
- Remove pan from stove. Add the red pepper mixture and green onions to the pan with the eggs and mix to combine. Allow the egg mixture to cool to room temperature.
- Once cooled, evenly distribute the egg mixture among six tortillas, leaving about an inch around the edge to fold in the ends. Sprinkle evenly with cheddar cheese. Roll up the burritos tightly, tucking in the ends.
- To heat, lightly coat a frying pan with a bit of oil and set the stove to medium heat. When the pan is hot, add the burritos, seam side down. Cook, covered, until the bottom of the burritos are golden brown and heated through, about 3-4 minutes.
Notes
* If you wish to freeze, wrap each burrito tightly in foil once you're done assembling each burrito. Place in a large ziplock bag or container and freeze for up to three months.
To reheat the frozen breakfast burritos:
Oven method: Preheat the oven (or toaster oven) to 400 degrees F. Place the burritos wrapped in foil on a baking sheet. Bake for 30-40 minutes or until the tortilla is lightly browned and crispy and the fillings have heated through.
Microwave method: Unwrap the burritos from foil and place in the microwave for 1-2 minutes or until heated through.
