Equipment
- Large skillet or frying pan
- Spatula
- Medium mixing bowl
- Whisk or Fork
- Plate and paper towels
- Microwave (optional for warming tortillas)
Ingredients
- 8 slices of bacon
- 6 large eggs
- ¼ cup milk
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 large flour tortillas 10-inch size
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Step 1: Cook the Bacon
- Place bacon slices in a skillet over medium heat. Cook until crispy, about 6-8 minutes, flipping once. Drain on paper towels and set aside.
Step 2: Whisk the Eggs
- In a bowl, whisk eggs with milk, salt, and pepper. The milk keeps the eggs fluffy. Set this mixture aside for now.
Step 3: Scramble the Eggs
- Melt butter in the skillet over medium-low heat. Pour in the egg mixture and stir gently. Cook until just set, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 4: Add the Cheese
- Sprinkle shredded cheddar over the eggs. Let it melt for 1-2 minutes. Stir lightly to mix it in.
Step 5: Warm the Tortillas
- Heat tortillas in the microwave for 20 seconds. Or warm them in the skillet for 10 seconds per side. This makes them soft and pliable.
Step 6: Assemble the Burritos
- Lay a tortilla flat and add two bacon slices. Spoon a quarter of the egg-cheese mix on top. Keep it centered for easy rolling.
Step 7: Roll It Up
- Fold the bottom of the tortilla over the filling. Tuck in the sides and roll tightly to close. Repeat for all four burritos.
Step 8: Toast (Optional)
- Place burritos seam-side down in the skillet. Cook for 1-2 minutes per side until golden. This adds a nice crunch.
Step 9: Serve Hot
- Cut in half if you like, and serve immediately. Add salsa or hot sauce on the side if desired.
