Bacon & Cheddar Breakfast Burritos: A Hearty Morning Delight

Ingredients

Main Components

• 8 slices thick‑cut bacon
• 6 large eggs
• ¼ cup whole milk
• 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 4 large flour tortillas (10‑inch)

Vegetables & Herbs

• ½ cup diced red bell pepper
• ¼ cup finely chopped fresh cilantro

Seasonings

• ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
• ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• Salt, to taste

Instructions

Preparing the Egg Mixture

1. Whisk the Eggs. In a bowl, combine 6 large eggs, ¼ cup whole milk, ½ teaspoon smoked paprika, ¼ teaspoon black pepper, and a pinch of salt. Whisk until fully blended; the milk creates a silkier texture.
2. Sauté the Veggies. Add the reserved bacon fat to the skillet over medium heat. Toss in ½ cup diced red bell pepper and sauté for 2‑3 minutes until softened. This step infuses the vegetables with smoky flavor.
3. Cook the Eggs. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, stirring gently with a silicone spatula. Cook for 3‑4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are just set but still slightly creamy. Remove from heat.
4. Combine Bacon & Cheese. Crumble the cooked bacon and stir it into the scrambled eggs. Sprinkle 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese over the hot mixture and fold until the cheese melts into a glossy coating.
