• Great texture: Crispy bacon contrasts with soft eggs and a tender tortilla.

Ingredients for a Loaded Breakfast Burrito

• 4 large flour tortillas
• 8 ounces breakfast sausage
• 6 slices bacon, chopped
• 6 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
• 1/2 cup diced cooked potatoes, optional
• 1/2 cup diced bell pepper, optional
• 1/4 cup salsa
• 2 tablespoons sliced green onions
• Hot sauce, optional

How to Make a Loaded Breakfast Burrito

1. Cook the bacon. Place the chopped bacon in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook until crisp, then transfer it to a paper towel-lined plate. Leave about 1 tablespoon of drippings in the skillet.
2. Brown the sausage. Add the sausage and cook, breaking it into small pieces, until browned and fully cooked. If using bell pepper or potatoes, stir them in and cook until warm and tender.
3. Prepare the eggs. Whisk the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Reduce the heat to medium-low, add the egg mixture, and stir gently until soft curds form.
4. Combine the filling. Stir the bacon into the skillet, then remove it from the heat while the eggs are still slightly glossy.
5. Warm the tortillas. Heat the tortillas briefly in a dry skillet or microwave so they become flexible.
6. Assemble the burritos. Divide the egg mixture among the tortillas. Add cheese, salsa, green onions, and hot sauce, keeping the filling below the center.
7. Roll and toast. Fold in the sides, roll tightly, and place each burrito seam-side down in a skillet. Toast for 1–2 minutes per side, until golden and sealed.
8. Serve. Slice the burritos in half and serve immediately with extra salsa.

Pro Tips for a Loaded Breakfast Burrito

• Drain excess sausage grease so the burritos do not become soggy.
• Cook the eggs gently and remove them just before they are fully set.
• Warm the tortillas before rolling to prevent tearing.
• Do not overfill the tortillas; otherwise, they will be difficult to seal.
• Let the burritos rest seam-side down briefly after toasting so they hold their shape.

Storage Instructions

Cool the burritos completely, then wrap them individually in foil or parchment. Refrigerate for up to 3 days. Alternatively, freeze them for up to 2 months. Thaw frozen burritos overnight in the refrigerator, then reheat in a skillet, oven, or microwave until hot.
