Who says breakfast has to include bacon or sausage to be delicious, flavorful, and filling? This mouthwatering combination of onion, bell pepper, and jalapeño enveloped in cheesy scrambled eggs proves that veggies can be the star of your morning meal!

Directions

  1. Warm olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add diced bell and jalapeño peppers and onion to pan and sauté until tender. Remove from pan and transer to a large bowl.
  2. Crack eggs into a small bowl and whisk. Return skillet to medium heat, add a little more oil or butter to coat the pan, and scramble eggs until cooked through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Transfer eggs to sautéed veggies and mix to combine.
  4. For easy assembly, warm four tortillas in the microwave for 20 seconds before filling and rolling. Arrange egg and veggie mixture and cheese in the center of each tortilla, then fold and roll until sealed. Place seam side down and repeat for remaining tortillas.
  5. Bring a drizzle of olive oil or butter in a clean skillet to medium heat. Once the pan is hot, add burritos seam side down. Cook for about 3 minutes on each side, or until fillings are hot in the center and tortillas are golden. Serve with sour cream and salsa if desired.

Nellie's Notes

To make any these breakfast burritos ahead, tightly wrap them in aluminum foil after rolling. Store in the refrigerator and reheat as needed. Microwave for 60-90 seconds or let sit at room temperature before cooking. Warm olive oil or butter in a skillet on medium heat, then cook burritos until hot on the inside and toasty on the outside, flipping halfway through. Alternaively, bake in foil at 350F until warmed through, about 15 minutes.

Prefer to freeze them? They can be stored in the freezer for up to a month! Freeze burritos in a single layer on a sheet pan lines with parchment paper. Once fully frozen, wrap burritos individually in parchment paper or foil and add to a large freezer bag (don't forget to label with the date!). To reheat, unwrap burrito and wrap in a damp paper towel. Place on a microwave-safe plate and microwave until warmed through, about 3 minutes. Enjoy immediately or crisp up the outside in a skillet with a little bit of olive oil or butter.
