Did You Know?
Did you know that the name "burrito" actually comes from the Spanish word for "little donkey"? This is because the shape of the wrapped tortilla resembles a donkey's rolled-up bedroll. ¡Un poco curioso, verdad?
Instructions:
- Let's get started: Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place the skillet on the stove and pour in the olive oil. Let it heat up; you'll know it's ready when it starts to shimmer slightly. Use a spatula to ensure the oil evenly coats the bottom of the skillet to prevent the ingredients from sticking.
- Add the diced bell pepper and onion and sauté until soft, about 3-4 minutes. Once the oil is heated, add the diced bell pepper and onion. Stir constantly with the spatula to prevent them from burning and to ensure they cook evenly. Cook for about 3 to 4 minutes, or until you notice the vegetables have softened and the edges are lightly browned.
- Next, in a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. In a large bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them with a fork or whisk until the yolks and whites are completely mixed. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste. You can adjust the seasoning according to your preference.
- Pour the eggs into the skillet with the vegetables and scramble until fully cooked. Once the vegetables are ready, pour the beaten eggs into the skillet with the peppers and onions. Don’t let the eggs sit still; start stirring with the spatula, moving from the edges towards the center. Cook until the eggs are fully cooked, but not dry. The approximate cooking time will be 3 to 4 minutes, depending on the heat of your stove.
- Time to add the cooked sausage or bacon and shredded cheese to the eggs, stirring until melted. Once the eggs are cooked, add the cooked and crumbled sausage or bacon, along with the shredded cheese. Keep stirring to ensure the cheese melts completely into the warm mixture, creating a creamy and delicious texture.
- Carefully heat the tortillas in a separate skillet for about 1 minute, or until soft, being careful not to burn them. Place a clean skillet over medium-low heat and add the tortillas one at a time. Heat for about 30 seconds to 1 minute per side. The goal is to soften them without toasting or burning them. You can cover them with a lid to heat them more evenly.
- Distribute the egg mixture evenly over the tortillas and roll them tightly. Once the tortillas are ready, distribute the egg mixture evenly on each tortilla. Then, roll them up tightly to ensure the filling doesn’t spill out, folding in the edges as you roll.
- All done, easy, right? Now just serve immediately and enjoy your breakfast burritos! Place the burritos on a plate and serve immediately to keep them warm. You can serve them with salsa, guacamole, or whatever you prefer. Enjoy a delicious and energizing breakfast!
Preparation Tips:
- If you're looking for a lighter or healthier version, you can replace the bacon or sausage with avocado or extra vegetables.
- Consider using whole wheat tortillas to add more fiber and make the recipe healthier.
- If you want a creamier burrito, add a bit of sour cream or guacamole inside before rolling it up.
- Don't forget to try adding a bit of hot sauce or tomato sauce for an extra kick of flavor.
- If you're short on time, you can simply prepare the ingredients the night before and just heat them in the morning.
