What You’ll Need (Base Ingredients)

While this recipe is totally flexible, these core ingredients lay the foundation for the perfect breakfast burrito:

• 12-inch flour tortillas – The bigger, the better. Look for "burrito-size."

• Scrambled eggs – Creamy, protein-packed, and essential.

• Roasted spicy potatoes – Tossed in smoked paprika for a bold, smoky kick.

• Avocado – Adds richness and healthy fats.

• Pico de gallo – For that fresh, tangy punch.

Optional Add-Ins (Highly Recommended!):

• Shredded red cabbage or radishes

• Black beans

• Roasted red peppers

• Spinach or baby kale

• Fresh cilantro

• Pickled onions or jalapeños

• Cotija, cheddar, or Monterey Jack cheese

How to Roll a Perfect Burrito

Rolling might take practice, but these tips will have you wrapping like a pro:

1. Start with large tortillas – 12 inches or larger for easy folding.

2. Keep fillings centered – Lay them in a tight, vertical strip.

3. Tuck in the sides – Then fold the bottom over and roll tightly.

4. Teamwork helps – Have a helper gently press fillings inward while you roll for extra compactness.

✅ Pro tip: Heat tortillas slightly before rolling to make them more pliable and prevent tearing.

Serving Suggestions

Pair your burrito with:

• Cilantro lime dressing

• Hot sauce or salsa verde

• Greek yogurt or sour cream

• Fresh fruit on the side

Enjoy with coffee or elevate to brunch status with a cold mimosa.
