How to Make Loaded Breakfast Burritos with Eggs and Veggies

Step 1: Sauté the Veggies

Start by heating a drizzle of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, toss in your diced onions and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until they’re soft and slightly translucent. Next, add the bell peppers and continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes. You’ll know they’re ready when the kitchen fills with that delicious aroma and the veggies turn tender yet still vibrant!

Step 2: Scramble the Eggs

In your mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until combined. Pour this mixture over the sautéed veggies in the skillet. Using your spatula, gently stir everything together, cooking until the eggs are fluffy and just set, about 5-7 minutes. Don’t overcook – you want them to stay moist and delicious!

Step 3: Assemble the Burritos

Take a tortilla and place a generous scoop of the egg and veggie mixture in the center. Top it with shredded cheese and any additional ingredients you desire. Fold the sides in and then roll the burrito tightly from the bottom to the top. Repeat for all tortillas.

Step 4: Warm the Burritos

Optional, but recommended! Wipe out your skillet and add a bit more olive oil or cooking spray. Place the wrapped burritos seam-side down in the skillet over medium heat. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until the tortillas are lightly browned and the cheese inside is melted. This adds a delightful crunch that balances out the soft filling.

Tips for Making It Perfect

• Prep your veggies the night before to save time in the morning.
• If the eggs get dry, add a splash more of milk while scrambling.
• To make them ahead, wrap burritos tightly in foil and chill. Reheat in a 350°F oven for about 20 minutes.
• Don’t forget to taste the egg mixture before you add to the filling – adjust seasoning as needed!

Storage Instructions

Store leftover burritos in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. You can also freeze them after wrapping tightly in foil. To reheat, simply pop them in the microwave or oven until heated through.
