- 1/4 cup diced bell peppers
- 1/4 cup diced onions (optional)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh herbs (e.g., cilantro or chives) for garnish
Planning Steps
- Cook the fillings: In a skillet, heat olive oil or butter over medium heat. Add diced bell peppers and onions, sauté until soft. Add cooked bacon or sausage, mixing well. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Scramble the eggs: In a bowl, whisk eggs with salt and pepper. Pour into the skillet and cook over low-medium heat, stirring gently until just set.
- Assemble the burritos: Warm the tortillas briefly to make them pliable. Spread the egg mixture evenly on each tortilla, then top with the cooked fillings and shredded cheese.
- Wrap tightly: Fold in the sides and roll up to enclose the fillings. For meal prep, wrap in foil or plastic wrap.
- Serve or store: Enjoy promptly or refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat in a microwave or oven before eating.
