Scrambled Egg Breakfast Burritos are soft tortillas filled with fluffy scrambled eggs, cheesy goodness, and often with ham, sausage, or veggies. They are perfect for a quick, tasty morning meal.
I like wrapping mine tightly so no filling sneaks out. Sometimes I add hot sauce—makes it exciting!
For a healthy touch, toss in some spinach or bell peppers. I prepare extra eggs early so I can enjoy these burritos all week!
Ingredients & Substitutions
Eggs: Eggs are the base of this dish, giving it fluffy texture. For fluffier eggs, whisk in a splash of milk or water. If you’re out of eggs, silken tofu works as a plant-based alternative, blending well into the mixture.
Cheese: Melty cheese like cheddar adds rich flavor and creamy texture. Unsalted or mozzarella cheese can be used if you prefer something milder or milder. Grate the cheese fresh for the best melt and flavor.
Flour Tortillas: Soft tortillas hold everything together. Whole wheat or plain flour tortillas are common choices. Warm them slightly to make rolling easier and prevent tearing.
Vegetables: Bell peppers, onions, or tomatoes add freshness and crunch. Use what you have; frozen diced peppers and onions also work. Sauté until tender for maximum flavor.
How do I scramble eggs without overcooking them?
Use low heat and gentle stirring when cooking eggs. Pour beaten eggs into a non-stick pan, then cook slowly, stirring constantly. Remove from heat just before they look fully cooked—they will finish cooking with residual heat.
- Start with a cold or low-heat pan to prevent quick overcooking.
- Stir continuously for soft, fluffy eggs instead of letting them sit undisturbed.
- Remove from heat early; residual warmth will finish the cooking smoothly.
