cheddar cheese

flour tortillas

🥗Healthier: whole wheat tortillas

💰Cheaper: corn tortillas

Whole wheat tortillas add fiber, while corn tortillas can be less expensive.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper so it overhangs on the sides. Place bacon pieces flat on the sheet, it's ok if the sides touch. Bake for 20 minutes or until desired crispiness.

In a non-stick skillet over low heat, add butter or some bacon grease to the pan. Crack eggs, whisk them well, add a splash of milk if you like, then pour into the pan. There should be no sizzling and it will look like the eggs are not cooking, but gently move the eggs with a spatula around the pan every 30 seconds or so. Turn off the heat right before the eggs are fully cooked and season with salt and pepper. Remove cooked eggs from pan and set aside.

Warm flour tortillas in the microwave to make them more pliable, about 20-30 seconds. Layer scrambled eggs, cheese, and bacon slices in a tortilla and wrap tightly. If eating now, add extra condiments like salsa, hot sauce, or sliced avocado. Toast the burrito on a hot skillet to crisp it up.

To freeze burritos: Allow eggs and bacon to cool then assemble burritos. Wrap each burrito tightly with plastic wrap or foil. Then place in a large zip-top bag or freezer container. Write the name and date and store up to 3 months in the freezer. To reheat: remove burrito from plastic or foil, and place on a microwave-safe plate and heat for 1-2 minutes. Add any extra fresh toppings and toast burrito on a hot skillet to crisp it up.
