INGREDIENTS:
To make these Scrambled Egg Burritos, you’ll need the following ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- ½ cup sliced Roasted Peppers
- 9 extra-large eggs, beaten
- ½ cup cream
- A few dashes of hot pepper sauce
- 2 cups shredded jalapeño jack cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 (12-inch) flour tortillas
- Salsa Fresca or store-bought salsa
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Sauté Onions and Peppers: Begin by melting 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sliced Roasted Peppers. Cook until the onions become soft and translucent, which should take about 5 minutes.
- Prepare Egg Mixture: In a separate bowl, combine the 9 beaten extra-large eggs and ½ cup of cream. Pour this mixture into the skillet with the sautéed onions and peppers. Stir constantly with a wooden spoon as the eggs begin to cook. The goal is to cook them until they are about half done, still very runny.
- Add Flavors: Once the eggs are halfway cooked, add a few dashes of hot pepper sauce, 2 cups of shredded jalapeño jack cheese, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Keep stirring until the eggs have a soft, creamy texture with small curds. Remove the skillet from heat.
- Soften Tortillas: Soften the flour tortillas by placing them directly over a stove burner set to medium heat. A few black spots on the tortillas are okay and add a nice touch of flavor.
- Assemble the Burritos: Spoon approximately one-fourth of the egg mixture slightly off center on each tortilla. Fold the sides in over the egg filling and roll the tortilla away from yourself, folding the filling in and tucking with your fingers to maintain even pressure. Repeat this step with the remaining tortillas.
- Serve with Salsa: To complete your Scrambled Egg Burritos, serve them with a side of Salsa Fresca (or your favorite store-bought salsa) for an extra burst of flavor. Enjoy your spicy breakfast wraps!
These Scrambled Egg Burritos are a delightful way to kick-start your day with a burst of flavor. Filled with creamy scrambled eggs and a touch of heat, they’re a breakfast sensation!
