A quick and easy breakfast burrito recipe perfect for camping or busy mornings, featuring scrambled eggs, cheese, and savory fillings wrapped in warm tortillas.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs, beaten (room temperature if possible)
  • 4 medium flour tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1/2 cup cooked breakfast sausage or bacon, chopped (plant-based sausage for vegetarian option)
  • 1/2 cup diced bell peppers (optional)
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1/4 cup salsa or pico de gallo (or hot sauce as substitute)
  • 1 tablespoon butter or oil for cooking
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prep your ingredients: Dice bell peppers and onion finely. Chop cooked sausage or bacon into bite-sized pieces. Beat eggs with salt and pepper until well combined.
  2. Cook the veggies and meat: Heat skillet over medium heat on camping stove. Add butter or oil. Cook onions and bell peppers until softened and slightly caramelized, about 4-5 minutes. Add sausage or bacon and warm through.
  3. Scramble the eggs: Push cooked veggies and meat to one side of skillet. Pour beaten eggs into empty side. Let edges set briefly, then gently scramble until just set but still moist.
  4. Warm the tortillas: Remove egg mixture and set aside. Warm tortillas on skillet or campfire grate for about 30 seconds per side until pliable.
  5. Assemble the burritos: Spoon egg mixture onto center of each tortilla. Sprinkle cheese on top, add salsa or pico de gallo. Fold sides in and roll tightly.
  6. Optional warming: Place wrapped burritos seam side down on skillet to seal and warm for 2 minutes, melting cheese and keeping burrito together.

Notes

Use low to medium heat to avoid rubbery eggs. Butter adds flavor and prevents sticking. Pre-cook meat at home to save time. Keep tortillas wrapped in a damp towel to stay soft. Burritos can be made ahead and reheated on skillet or campfire coals. For gluten-free, use corn tortillas but note they are less flexible.
