How to Make It
Prepare your delicious Breakfast Burritos with these easy steps:
Sauté the Vegetables
In a skillet, sauté the diced onion and bell peppers until soft. This should take about 5-7 minutes, ensuring they are cooked through and fragrant.
Whisk the Eggs
In a bowl, whisk the eggs and pour them into the skillet with the vegetables. Cook until the eggs are set, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in Meat and Cheese
Stir in the cooked meat and cheese, and season with salt and pepper. Allow everything to meld together for another minute or two for the cheese to melt slightly.
Warm the Tortillas
Warm the tortillas in a separate pan or microwave. This makes them more pliable and easier to fold.
Assemble the Burritos
Spoon the egg mixture onto each tortilla, fold them up burrito-style, and serve. Enjoy your breakfast wrapped in deliciousness!

If meal-prepping, let the burritos cool, then wrap individually in foil or plastic wrap and freeze. Reheat in the microwave or oven when ready to eat.
