The Big Breakfast Burrito Recipes

AWESOME BREAKFAST BURRITOS

Steps:

• In a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat, add the bacon and onion. Cook until the bacon is crisp and the onion is softened, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate. Add the sausage to the same skillet and, using the back of a wooden spoon, break it up into small bits. Cook until golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the bacon and onion back to the skillet, along with the ham. Pour in the whisked eggs and use a rubber spatula to scramble the eggs and meat. Cook until the eggs are set, about 5 minutes, then add the cheese, salsa verde and chiles and stir everything together. Season with salt and pepper.
• Divide the scramble among the 12 tortillas. Roll up the tortillas, leaving the ends open. Wrap each burrito in foil. Serve immediately.
• To make ahead: Refrigerate the burritos after assembling; reheat the next day at 350 degrees F for 35 minutes in a pan covered with foil.

FREEZE-AND-REHEAT BREAKFAST BURRITOS

Steps:

• Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain on paper towels and crumble into bits. Keep skillet warm.
• Whisk eggs, milk, and salt together in a bowl. Pour into the hot skillet. Cook and stir over medium-high heat until eggs are set, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
• Heat oil in same skillet over medium-high heat. Add frozen potatoes, garlic salt, and pepper. Fry until browned on the bottom, 4 to 5 minutes. Flip and cook until other side is browned, 4 to 5 minutes more. Let cool.
• Cut 10 squares of aluminum foil slightly larger than the tortillas. Lay 1 tortilla on each square; evenly distribute Cheddar cheese on top. Add eggs, bacon, salsa, and potatoes to each tortilla, in that order. Tightly roll the burritos, tucking tops and bottoms in first.
• Wrap aluminum foil tightly around each burrito, covering it completely. Place in resealable plastic bags in a single layer. Remove as much air as possible from the bags before sealing. Store in the freezer until ready to reheat.
• Reheat by removing the aluminum foil, placing the burrito on a microwave-safe plate, and topping it with a paper towel. Heat in the microwave until evenly warmed through, 1 to 2 minutes.

THE BIG BREAKFAST BURRITO

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F Combine sweet potatoes, 1 T olive oil, cumin and coriander. Bake 20-25 minutes, or until potatoes are tender, stirring occasionally.
• Meanwhile, cut the red and green pepper into strips and slice onion.
• Add remaining olive oil to a skillet and saute the red pepper, green pepper, and onions until tender.
• Add black beans and heat mixture through. Remove from heat, but keep warm.
• Prepare a large pan with cooking spray and let heat until a small amount of water tossed on it sizzles. Crack each egg on either side of the pan and add 2 T water. Cover with pan and cook until yolk is set. Note: to actually eat as a burrito, it is helpful to have the yolk more set. If you prefer a runnier yolk, you can pull it off earlier, and you'll probably want to grab a knife and fork :).
• Place a cheese slice in the center of each tortilla and top with egg, when ready.
• Combine sweet potatoes and the black bean mixture and fill each burrito. Wrap up burrito-style. Enjoy as-is, or serve with your favorite salsa!

BIG BREAKFAST BURRITO

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and red bell pepper and cook, stirring, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the black beans and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring occasionally, another 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, and then transfer the mixture to a bowl.
• Whisk the eggs and egg whites together in a medium-size bowl, then add the cheese. Spray the skillet with cooking spray and reheat it over medium heat. Reduce the heat to low, add the eggs, and scramble until cooked through, about 3 minutes.
• Spread each tortilla with 1 tablespoon each of sour cream and salsa, then layer with 1/4 of the black bean mixture, 1/4 of the scrambled eggs, some diced tomato, and 1/4 of the avocado. Season to taste with the hot pepper sauce. Roll up burrito-style.
