Step-by-Step Instructions

Follow these easy steps for burrito bliss in minutes:

  1. Prep Your Pan: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat with 1 teaspoon of oil or butter (about 1 minute).

  3. Add Cheese: Sprinkle cheese over the eggs and let it melt for 1 minute.
  4. Warm Tortillas: While eggs cook, microwave tortillas for 20-30 seconds to make them pliable.
  5. Assemble: Divide the egg mixture between the tortillas. Add hot sauce or salsa if desired. Roll them up tightly – fold in the sides and roll from the bottom.
  6. Serve: Enjoy immediately, or wrap in foil for on-the-go!

Total time: 8-10 minutes. Boom – breakfast done!
