Bacon Egg & Cheese Burritos

I had some tortillas leftover from enchilada night... and some bacon and eggs in the fridge. So, I decided to makes some homemade bacon egg & cheese burritos.

NOTE: This recipe will make 4 burritos.

You will need the following ingredients:

4 eggs
8 slices of bacon
4 taco sized tortillas
4 slices of american cheese
3 tablespoons of butter
salt & pepper to taste
a few tablespoons of milk

• First place the bacon on a cookie sheet covered in aluminum foil.

• Turn on oven to 400 and put bacon in the oven. DO NOT preheat the oven. You must place the bacon in a COLD OVEN. Bake for 17-20 minutes. The bake time will depend on the thickness of the bacon, how fast your oven preheats, ect. Also be sure to pull the bacon out just a bit before its fully done. It will continue cooking once you take it out of the oven. 

 

• Immediately move the bacon to a paper towel to drain the grease.

• Melt butter in skillet on medium heat.

• Whisk egg, milk, salt & pepper well.  

•  Turn heat to medium-high and add eggs to butter. Stir continuously until no longer runny. Remove from heat.

 

• Now stack the eggs, cheese and bacon on the burrito.

To fold the burritos:

• Fold one side up.

• Fold the uncovered end over it.

•  Roll up the burrito towards the other side.

•  Continue this until all the burritos are done. You can hold them together with toothpicks.

 You can make these ahead if you choose and freeze them. Just wrap them in paper towels and put in a freezer bag. Microwave for 1 minute to reheat.
