Let’s Make it Together
First things first: Gather all your ingredients because no one wants to go hunting through the fridge mid-cooking.
Prep Your Ingredients: Dice bell peppers and onions while frying the bacon until it’s crispy. This will fill your kitchen with heavenly aromas that’ll make you feel like a pro chef.
Scramble Those Eggs: In a bowl, whisk eggs until blended; pour into a heated pan. Stir gently until they’re fluffy and set, but not dry—think clouds of eggy goodness.
Combine Everything**: Toss in cooked bacon, peppers, onions, and cheese into the scrambled eggs. Stir everything together until cheese melts into gooey deliciousness—you’re almost there!
Assemble Your Burrito**: Lay out tortillas on a flat surface. Spoon generous portions of filling onto each tortilla along with slices of avocado and salsa for that extra zing—don’t skimp!
Roll It Up**: Fold in the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll tightly from one end to the other. Ensure it’s snug so nothing escapes during cooking!
Heat & Serve**: Place completed burritos seam-side down in a hot skillet or grill pan until golden brown on each side—about two minutes should do it! Serve immediately with extra salsa on hand.
And voila! You now have breakfast burritos that are ready to impress even the fussiest of eaters at your brunch gathering! Just remember—laugh at any mess along the way because cooking is as much about enjoyment as it is about food!
