Egg Burritos

Total Time Prep/Total Time: 25 min.

Yield 10 burritos

Egg burritos are a fusion between Mexican and American cooking styles. This recipe isn't quite as stuffed as a traditional burrito, so it's lighter on the stomach.

Ingredients

12 bacon strips, chopped
12 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
10 flour tortillas (8 inches), warmed
1-1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
4 green onions, thinly sliced

Directions

In a large cast-iron or other heavy skillet, cook bacon until crisp; drain on paper towels. Remove all but 1-2 tablespoons drippings from pan.
Whisk together eggs, salt and pepper. Heat skillet over medium heat; pour in egg mixture. Cook and stir until eggs are thickened and no liquid egg remains; remove from heat.
Spoon about 1/4 cup egg mixture onto center of each tortilla; sprinkle with cheese, bacon and green onions. Roll into burritos.

Zap one of these frozen burritos in the microwave and you'll stave off hunger all morning. This recipe is my family’s favorite combo, but I sometimes use breakfast sausage instead of bacon. —Audra Niederman, Aberdeen, South Dakota
