Bacon Egg and Cheese Burritos are an easy Breakfast the whole family will love. Customize them with your favorite salsa, hot sauce or avocado.
It seems a little silly to post such an easy recipe, but I have some tips to help to take these Breakfast burritos to the next level.
Starting with Mess Free Crispy Bacon. Bacon that is evenly cooked, lays flat, crispy, and cleanup is breeze! I've been making bacon this way for years, and now with our new hood, there is no leftover bacon smell in the house. Not that the smell was a bad thing, but it sure can make you hungry!
Start by pre heating your oven to 400 degrees, and let it pre heat for a few minutes after the signal goes off to ensure it's at that temperature. You'll need a baking sheet and rack combo like this one:
Line the bottom portion with aluminum foil and fold over on the sides, then place the rack on top. Place your bacon on the rack, the strips can be close touching, since it will shrink a bit while cooking. Bake for 15-20 minutes, depending on how crispy you want the bacon. It will get crispier after it cools. Save about 2 tablespoons of the bacon grease for the eggs, or more if you want to use for other cooking. To toss, carefully fold up the sides of the foil and toss in the trash. Easy Crispy Bacon!
Soft Scrambled Eggs-
The key is Low and Slow! Start with a non stick skillet and rubber spatula. Place the bacon grease in the pan and heat over medium low heat for about a minute. I use about 1.5-2 eggs per a burrito. Crack eggs, whisk aggressively, and pour into pan. There should be No sizzling! If it's sizzling, your pan is too hot. It will seem like the eggs are not cooking, but gently move your spatula around the pan every 30 seconds or so, and you will see the eggs start to cook. Turn off the heat right before they are fully cooked, season with salt and pepper, give one more turn, and place into tortillas.
Warm flour tortillas in the microwave till soft, about 20-30 seconds. Place scrambled eggs, cheese, and bacon slices in tortillas and wrap tightly. I like to spice it up with some salsa, hot sauce, or avocado.

The kids were so excited that we dressed up with them 🙂
Kari says
Could these be made the night before, kept in fridge, then heated in microwave the morning of? Or any different suggestions?

Hi Kari- Yes, you can definitely make them ahead of time and store in the fridge or even freezer if it's going to be a few days. I like to wrap each burrito with plastic wrap them store in a container or zip top bag. Then remove from the plastic and heat in the microwave for a minute. You can also 'crisp' them up on a skillet with a little oil too.
