Best ways to enjoy it
Breakfast burritos are incredibly versatile when it comes to serving. You can enjoy them warm and straight from the skillet or take things up a notch with a side of salsa or avocado. Consider a fresh fruit salad or some crispy hash browns on the side for a complete breakfast experience. They also make great "on-the-go" meals—just wrap them in foil, and they’re perfect for busy mornings!
Storage and reheating tips
If you find yourself with some leftover burritos (though it’s unlikely!), store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, simply pop them in the microwave for 30 to 60 seconds, or heat in a skillet over low heat until warmed through. You can also freeze them by individually wrapping each burrito in foil and placing them in a freezer bag. They’ll keep well for up to two months—just remember to thaw them in the fridge overnight before reheating!
Helpful cooking tips
Here are some tips to ensure your breakfast burritos turn out flawless:
- Use fresh eggs for a fluffier scramble.
- Don’t overcook the eggs; they should be soft and fluffy, not rubbery.
- Feel free to experiment with spices; a dash of cumin or paprika could elevate the flavor.
- If you’re making a big batch, keep the tortillas warm in a tortilla warmer or wrapped in a towel.
Creative twists
Why not add your own flair to these breakfast burritos? Consider these variations:
- Swap out bacon for turkey bacon or a veggie sausage for a healthier twist.
- Add diced bell peppers or spinach to the egg mixture for a boost of veggies.
- Top with fresh salsa, guacamole, or a sprinkle of hot sauce for some extra heat.
- Try different types of cheese, such as pepper jack for a little kick or feta for a Mediterranean twist.
