"Pancakes and avocado toasts, make way – here comes the breakfast burrito! This Tex-Mex classic earns the name not just because we're choosing to make it earlier in the day, but because it's filled with some of our favorite breakfast favorite: eggs, avocado, and bacon. In the comforting embrace of toasty whole-wheat tortilla, velvety omelet, creamy avocado and crispy bacon meet spicy cheddar, cilantro, sour cream and a good helping of hot sauce if you need that extra kick. For those of you who aren't quite as agile in the morning, there's a welcome trick to make the filling easier to roll up: In a skillet, use melted cheese to "glue" the omelet directly to the tortilla like a second skin. Be sure to keep your pan slightly smaller in diameter than your tortilla wrap. To make this burrito even more substantial and filling, potatoes from the day before, beans, fresh or roasted vegetables can also go into the wrap. These alternative fillings are also great for a vegetarian version without bacon."

  • Step 3/4

    Once the egg has set, but is still slightly runny on the surface, spread the grated cheddar on top. When the cheese has melted a little, place the tortilla on top. Continue to fry with the lid closed for approx. 1–2 min. so that the remaining egg sets and the tortilla sticks to the cheese. Then flip the content out of the pan onto the countertop or a cutting board so that the egg layer is on top.
