Protein breakfast burrito

A Protein Breakfast Burrito is a delicious and satisfying meal that is perfect to kickstart your day with a punch of protein. This hearty recipe includes eggs, bacon, and veggies all wrapped in a warm tortilla, making it both nutritious and convenient for busy mornings.

Ingredients:

12 eggs
600g
1 tbsp olive oil
14g
1 red pepper
120g
1/2 onion
54g
6 bacon strips
70g
1 dash salt
0.40g
1 dash black pepper
1/10g
8 tortillas
320g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
- Dice the red pepper and onion.
- Cut the bacon strips into small pieces.
2. Cook the Bacon:
- Place a large skillet over medium heat and add the bacon pieces.
- Cook the bacon until it becomes crispy, stirring occasionally (around 5-7 minutes).
- Once done, remove the bacon from the skillet and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain the excess oil.
3. Sauté Vegetables:
- In the same skillet, using the remaining bacon fat, add the diced red pepper and onion.
- Sauté the vegetables until they become soft and translucent, about 4-5 minutes.
- Remove the vegetables from the skillet and set aside.
4. Cook the Eggs:
- Crack the eggs into a large bowl and whisk them until well combined.
- Wipe the skillet clean with a paper towel and add the olive oil.
- Heat the skillet over medium-low heat and pour in the whisked eggs.
- Season with a dash of salt and black pepper.
- Stir the eggs continuously to scramble, cooking until they are just set but still slightly runny. This should take around 5-6 minutes.
5. Combine Ingredients:
- Once the eggs are cooked, add the cooked bacon and sautéed vegetables back into the skillet.
- Stir everything together until evenly distributed and heated through.
6. Warm the Tortillas:
- One by one, warm the tortillas in a separate skillet over low heat, about 30 seconds on each side, until they are pliable.
7. Assemble the Burritos:
- Lay each tortilla flat on a clean surface or plate.
- Spoon an equal portion of the egg mixture (eggs, bacon, and vegetables) onto the center of each tortilla.
8. Wrap the Burritos:
- Fold in the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll the tortilla tightly from the bottom up, creating a burrito shape.
9. Optional: You can serve the burritos immediately, or wrap them in foil to keep them warm.

Tips:

- Use fresh, high-quality eggs to enhance the flavor and texture of the scramble.

- Pre-cook the bacon until it's crispy for added texture and taste.

- You can customize the recipe by adding other vegetables such as spinach, mushrooms, or avocado for extra nutrients.

- Warm the tortillas before assembling to make them more pliable and easier to roll.

- If you are cooking for a crowd, keep the cooked elements warm in a low oven as you prepare everything.

Whether you’re feeding a small crowd or prepping meals for the week, this Protein Breakfast Burrito recipe is a fantastic choice. It’s nutritious, easy to prepare, and highly customizable to suit everyone’s taste. Enjoy your hearty, protein-packed breakfast!
