- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon crispy. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel-lined plate. Remove all but about 2 tablespoons of the bacon fat from the pan.
- To the skillet with the bacon fat, add the diced onion, red bell pepper, and green bell pepper. Cook until the vegetables are softened. Stir the cooked bacon back into the vegetables.
- Transfer the bacon and vegetable mixture to a medium-sized bowl and set aside.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of butter in the pan. Add the 4 large beaten eggs to the pan and scramble until cooked through and fluffy.
- Add the scrambled eggs to the bowl with the bacon mixture and mix gently until the eggs are well incorporated. Season with salt and pepper to taste and gently mix again.
- Place a portion (about a 1⁄2 cup) of the bacon and egg mixture in the center of each flour tortilla. Sprinkle it with shredded cheese.
- To roll the burritos, fold in the sides of the tortilla and then roll it up tightly with the seam down. Set the burritos aside.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the burritos to the pan and brown for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden and crispy.
- Transfer the burritos to serving plates and garnish with the sliced green onion. Optionally you can serve the burritos with sour cream, salsa, limes, and hot sauce. Enjoy!
Tips & Tricks
- Crisp the Bacon Perfectly: Cook bacon in the oven for even crispiness and less mess. Lay bacon on a foil-lined baking sheet and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes.
- Fluffy Eggs: Whisk a splash of milk or cream into the eggs before cooking to make them extra fluffy and creamy.
- Warm the Tortillas: Briefly heat tortillas in a skillet or microwave to make them more pliable and easier to roll.
- Layer Wisely: Place a layer of cheese directly on the tortilla before adding hot ingredients; this helps melt the cheese and keeps the tortilla from getting soggy.
- Customize Fillings: Add your favorite vegetables, such as bell peppers, onions, or spinach, to boost the nutrition and flavor.
- Keep It Fresh: If meal prepping, wrap each best breakfast burrito tightly in foil or plastic wrap, then store in an airtight container or freezer bag.
- Reheat Properly: For the best texture, reheat burritos in the oven or a toaster oven instead of the microwave to keep the tortilla from getting soggy.
- Add Condiments: Serve with salsa, hot sauce, or avocado slices for added flavor and a touch of freshness.
