Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the bacon strips and cook until crispy, turning occasionally. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
- Transfer the cooked bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess fat. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into small pieces.
- In the same skillet, add the olive oil and heat over medium heat.
- Sauté the onions and red pepper until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Remove the vegetables from the skillet and set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat the eggs and season with salt and black pepper.
- Pour the eggs into the same skillet used for the vegetables.
- Cook, stirring gently, until the eggs are scrambled and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes.
- Remove from heat and set aside.
- Lay out the tortillas on a clean surface.
- Evenly distribute the scrambled eggs across the tortillas.
- Top each portion of eggs with sautéed vegetables, crumbled bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, and a sprinkle of fresh thyme.
- Add a generous spoonful of salsa and a dollop of Greek yogurt to each tortilla.
- Fold in the sides of each tortilla, then roll from the bottom up to secure the filling.
- Serve immediately or wrap in foil for a portable breakfast option.
- If desired, warm the burritos in a skillet or microwave before serving.
- Garnish with additional thyme, salsa, and Greek yogurt if desired.
Tips:
- To save time in the morning, prepare the fillings the night before and store them in the refrigerator. Simply reheat and assemble the burritos in the morning.
- For a healthier twist, consider using whole wheat tortillas and turkey bacon.
- If you like a bit of heat, add chopped jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the egg mixture.
- Warm the tortillas in the microwave or a skillet before assembling to make them more pliable and easier to fold.
- Customize your burritos by adding other favorite ingredients like spinach, mushrooms, or avocado.
These Bacon and Cheese Breakfast Burritos are delicious and satisfying, providing a perfect balance of flavors and nutrients to keep you energized throughout the day. Serve with additional salsa and Greek yogurt on the side for an extra kick, and enjoy your hearty homemade breakfast!
