Instructions
 

Step 1: Cook the Bacon

  • Lay bacon slices in a cold skillet and heat to medium.
  • Cook 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until crispy.
  • Drain on paper towels, then chop into bite-sized pieces.

Step 2: Sauté the Vegetables (Optional)

  • Use 1 tablespoon of reserved bacon fat in the pan.
  • Sauté bell pepper and onion over medium heat for 5-7 minutes.
  • Add spinach in the last 30 seconds to wilt.

Step 3: Prepare the Eggs

  • Whisk eggs with milk/cream, salt, and pepper.
  • Heat butter or oil in a skillet over medium-low.
  • Pour eggs in and gently push from edges to center to form curds.
  • Remove from heat when slightly glossy.
  • Stir in chopped bacon, sautéed veggies, and 1 cup shredded cheese.

Step 4: Assemble the Burritos

  • Warm tortillas in microwave for 10-15 seconds.
  • Place egg mixture slightly below center of each tortilla.
  • Add avocado, cilantro, and remaining cheese if desired.
  • Fold in sides, roll tightly, and tuck edges.

Step 5: Toast the Burritos (Optional but Recommended)

  • Heat a dry skillet over medium heat.
  • Place burritos seam-side down and toast 1-2 minutes per side.

Notes

  • Make-Ahead: Wrap burritos in foil and refrigerate for up to 4 days.
