Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 slices bacon
- 6 large eggs
- 0.25 cup milk
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 0.5 cup pico de gallo
- 1 avocado
- 0.5 cup sour cream (optional)
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon slices and cook until crispy, about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally. Remove the bacon from the skillet and place on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease. Once cooled, crumble or chop into smaller pieces.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Wipe out the bacon grease from the skillet and melt the butter over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture and cook, stirring gently with a spatula, until the eggs are scrambled to your desired doneness. Remove from heat.
Warm the flour tortillas either by heating them in a microwave for about 20 seconds or in a clean dry skillet until they are soft and pliable.
To assemble each burrito, lay a tortilla flat on a work surface. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the center of the tortilla.
Add a quarter of the scrambled eggs on top of the cheese, followed by a quarter of the crumbled bacon.
Top with a couple of tablespoons of pico de gallo and some slices of avocado for added freshness.
Fold in the sides of the tortilla and then roll it from the bottom up, making sure all the ingredients are securely enclosed.
Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and filling.
Serve the burritos warm with a side of sour cream for dipping if desired.
