LA Breakfast Burrito


These breakfast burritos are an all time fav at my house!  I officially named them after our roommates LAuren and Auren who would eat them everyday if they could!  They are SUPER easy to make and take less than 30 minutes!  I've done a number of different variations of this burrito, but it's all left up to the creativity of the person making them!  So here's the basic recipe!

You Will Need 

5 large eggs
1 pound bacon
2 -3 cups of Mexican style shredded cheese
2 teaspoons chili powder / pepper / salt / garlic salt
4 regular sized flour tortillas
2 tablespoons butter


- Fry up your bacon in a medium sized skillet or fry pan.  I use an entire pound when I make these, this allows me to give a couple strips to everyone as they wait for food!  Finish cooking bacon and set aside to cool.

- Crack your eggs into a bowl, add spices and salt & pepper, mix just until the spices are worked into the eggs.  

- Melt your butter in a medium sized fry pan, be careful to not burn the butter.  If the butter burns, it's best to wash the pan and start all over.  Eggs cooked with burnt butter not only taste bad, but also look horrible!

- Scramble the eggs and set aside.

- I assemble these burritos on a lightly heated griddle pan, as shown in the picture above, but if you have sensitive fingers you can assemble on a cutting board or counter top and then move to the griddle pan.

- On your griddle pan, warm the tortilla on each side, just enough to be able to roll it without it cracking.  Lay down a generous layer of shredded cheese, top with torn/chopped pieces of bacon and eggs.  Roll the burrito up away from you making sure the sides are secure within and push to the top of the pan.

- Assemble the other 3 burritos and toast on top and bottom to ensure yummy melty cheese!!!!

- Garnish with your favorite salsa, sour cream and guacamole!  Or better yet, garnish with all 3!!!

Serves 4 people
