A quick and easy microwave breakfast burrito combining fluffy eggs, melted cheese, and savory fillings wrapped in a warm tortilla, perfect for busy mornings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) milk (any dairy or plant-based)
  • 1 10-inch flour tortilla
  • 1/3 cup (35 g) shredded cheddar cheese (or Monterey Jack, mozzarella)
  • 1/4 cup (30 g) cooked breakfast sausage or bacon bits (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons diced bell peppers
  • 2 tablespoons diced onions
  • 1 tablespoon salsa or hot sauce (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Cooking spray or a small pat of butter

Instructions

  1. Dice bell peppers and onions finely. Chop cooked sausage or bacon if using. Grate cheese if not pre-shredded.
  2. Crack 2 large eggs into a microwave-safe bowl. Add 2 tablespoons milk, a pinch of salt, and pepper. Whisk until uniform and slightly frothy.
  3. Microwave eggs on high for 45 seconds, stir gently, then microwave for another 30 to 45 seconds until just set but still moist.
  4. Place the tortilla on a microwave-safe plate and heat for 20-30 seconds until warm and flexible.
  5. On the warm tortilla, layer scrambled eggs, cooked sausage or bacon bits, diced peppers and onions, and shredded cheese. Add salsa or hot sauce if desired.
  6. Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll tightly from one end to the other to enclose the filling.
  7. Place the folded burrito seam-side down on the plate and microwave for an additional 20-30 seconds to melt cheese and warm through.
  8. Let cool for 1 minute and serve immediately.

Notes

To keep eggs moist, cover the bowl loosely during microwaving. Fold burrito sides first to avoid spills. Warm tortilla just enough to be pliable but not soggy. Prep veggies and meat the night before for faster mornings.
