Step-by-Step Directions
1. Cook the Ground Beef
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef and diced onions. Season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the beef is browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess fat and set the beef aside.
2. Scramble the Eggs
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs. In the same skillet, add a bit of butter or oil and pour in the whisked eggs. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until the eggs are scrambled and set. Remove from heat.
3. Assemble the Burritos
Lay a tortilla flat and add a scoop of the cooked ground beef and a portion of scrambled eggs. Sprinkle with shredded cheese and any additional toppings like veggies or salsa if desired. Roll up the tortilla by folding in the sides and rolling it tightly to keep all the ingredients contained.
4. Warm the Burritos (Optional)
For a crispy exterior, place the assembled burritos back in the skillet over medium heat, seam-side down, and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden brown. Alternatively, you can warm them in the oven at 350°F for about 5-10 minutes.
Tips for Success
- Customize the Ingredients: Adjust the fillings to suit your preferences. Add vegetables or different seasonings to make each burrito your own.
- Use Freshly Shredded Cheese: Fresh cheese melts better and has a creamier texture than pre-shredded cheese.
- Make It a Freezer-Friendly Meal: Assemble the burritos, wrap them tightly in foil, and freeze for up to 3 months. When ready to eat, reheat in the microwave or oven for a quick breakfast.
Storing and Reheating Leftovers
If you have leftover burritos, wrap them in foil or plastic wrap and store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For reheating, microwave the burritos for about 1 minute or bake in the oven at 350°F for 10-12 minutes. If reheating from frozen, increase the time slightly to ensure they’re heated through.
