Ingredients
Ingredients
- 4 large Eggs
- 4-5 slices Thick-cut Bacon
- 1 tablespoon Butter or Oil
- 1/2 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
- to taste Salt and Pepper
- 2 large Flour Tortillas (10-inch)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh Chopped Parsley
Instructions
- Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon slices and cook until crispy, turning occasionally for even browning. Once done, transfer to a plate lined with paper towels. Allow to cool slightly, then chop into bite-sized pieces.
- In a bowl, beat the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. Wipe the skillet clean (or use a new one), and melt the butter or add oil over medium heat. Pour in the eggs and gently stir, scraping the bottom frequently. Cook for about 3–4 minutes until just set but still soft and fluffy.
- Heat each tortilla in a dry pan over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side, or wrap them in a damp paper towel and microwave for 20–30 seconds until warm and pliable.
- Lay the warm tortillas flat. Spoon half the scrambled eggs into the center of each tortilla. Sprinkle with half the shredded cheddar, then top with half of the chopped crispy bacon.
- Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll up firmly from the bottom into a burrito shape, making sure to keep all the filling tucked inside.
- Place the burritos seam-side down in a hot, dry skillet for 1–2 minutes per side, until the exterior is lightly browned and crisp.
- Slice in half, sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley, and serve hot!
Notes
For a lighter version, use turkey bacon or add sautéed veggies like spinach and mushrooms. You can also customize the cheese to your liking.
