Ingredients
  

For the Burrito
  • 2 large Flour Tortillas Try whole wheat or gluten-free if desired.
  • 4 oz Breakfast Meat (e.g., bacon or sausage) Swap for grilled chicken or tofu for a plant-based option.
  • 4 large Eggs Remember to scramble gently for the fluffiest texture.
  • 1 cup Onions and Bell Peppers Feel free to use mushrooms or zucchini for a twist.
  • 1 cup Cheese (e.g., Cheddar) Consider pepper jack for added spice or vegan cheese for a dairy-free version.
  • 1 cup Tomatoes/Salsa Fresh salsa enhances the overall flavor profile.
  • 1 medium Avocado A must-try if you love a rich texture.
  • 1 tablespoon Cilantro Substitute with green onions if you're not a fan.

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Cook the breakfast meat in a large skillet over medium heat for about 5–7 minutes, then transfer to a plate.
  2. In the same skillet, sauté diced onions and bell peppers for 3–4 minutes until softened.
  3. Whisk eggs with salt, pepper, and chili powder, pour into the skillet and scramble gently for 3–4 minutes.
  4. Warm tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for 10-15 seconds to ensure flexibility.
  5. Assemble by placing the egg mixture, tomatoes, cheese, avocado, and cilantro onto the tortilla; fold and roll to enclose the filling.
  6. Grill the burrito seam-side down for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
