The temperature is 14 degrees outside, which is pretty low for us
Virginians! What could be better than a nice, hot breakfast on a snowy, cold
morning? Today I made breakfast burritos for my family.
Breakfast Burritos
(Makes 6 burritos)
Ingredients:
- 6 flour tortillas
Can't wait to eat this hot burrito! - 6-8 bacon strips
- 6-8 eggs
- 1/2 cup of shredded cheese (I used a blend of Mexican cheese)
- Additional shredded cheese to assemble the burritos (to taste)
- About 1 cup of chopped veggies (I used onions and red peppers)
- 1 avocado, cut in slices
- Salt and pepper to taste (I skipped these because the bacon was salty enough for us)
- Hot Sauce (optional, but highly recommended)
Directions:
1. Cook the bacon strips in a frying pan until they are nice and
crispy. Once the bacon is done, place the strips on a paper towel to get rid of
some of the grease. Once the strips are
cool, chop them up into small chunks.
Optional: Reserve the grease
left in the pan (see next step)
2. Fry the vegetables in a bit of oil
Optional: I used the bacon
grease to fry the veggies (I removed some of the oil from the pan, though). I
don’t do this often because this has to be bad for us, but it is such a nice
treat! Also, this means I have to wash only one frying pan.

3. Whisk the eggs and add them to the pan once the vegetables are done.
Stir frequently to make sure the eggs don’t stick to the pan and cook evenly. Wait
until the eggs look almost done, and then…
4. Add the bacon bits and the cheese to the egg/veggie mix, and finish
cooking the eggs. If you’re going to add salt and/or pepper, do so now.

5. Warm up the tortillas in the microwave. Heat them up for about 15 seconds.
6. On each tortilla, sprinkle cheese and top it with a couple of
tablespoons of the egg/veggie mix. Then,
add the avocado slices on top.

| Don't forget the hot sauce! |
Optional: Sprinkle a bit of hot
sauce on top of the avocados and eggs.
7. Wrap the tortilla to make a classic burrito.
Done!
