A quick and hearty breakfast burrito recipe perfect for camping or busy mornings, featuring scrambled eggs, cheese, sausage or bacon, and sautéed veggies wrapped in warm tortillas.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs (preferably free-range or organic)
  • 4 flour tortillas, 8-inch size
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (sharp or mild)
  • 6 ounces cooked breakfast sausage or bacon, crumbled (or sautéed mushrooms or smoked tofu for vegetarian option)
  • 1/2 cup diced bell peppers, sautéed
  • 1/4 cup chopped onions, sautéed
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Pinch of smoked paprika
  • Sour cream or Greek yogurt (for serving, optional)
  • Hot sauce (such as Cholula, optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your cast iron skillet or non-stick frying pan over medium heat (about 350°F). Add a small drizzle of oil or butter to prevent sticking.
  2. Sauté diced onions and bell peppers until softened and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Add cooked sausage or bacon pieces to warm through. If using raw sausage, cook thoroughly until browned.
  3. Crack eggs into a bowl, season with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika, then whisk lightly. Pour eggs into the skillet with the veggies and meat, stirring gently to scramble until fluffy and just set, about 3–4 minutes. Avoid overcooking.
  4. Warm tortillas on a dry pan or over the fire for 20–30 seconds per side until soft and pliable.
  5. Lay a tortilla flat and spoon a generous amount of the egg mixture down the center. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top while the filling is still warm to encourage melting. Add fresh cilantro if desired. Fold in the sides and roll tightly.
  6. For camping, wrap each burrito in foil to keep warm or heat over coals for a few minutes if you prefer a crispier exterior.

Notes

Cook eggs gently over medium heat to keep them tender and fluffy. Pre-cook and prep ingredients at home when camping to save time. Warm tortillas before rolling to prevent cracking. Wrap burritos tightly to keep them together and warm.
