How to Make Breakfast Burritos
Ingredients:
- 8 slices deli ham
- 12 large eggs
- ¼ cup sour cream
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 8 8-inch flour tortillas
- 1 ½ cups pico de gallo
- 1 ½ cups grated cheddar cheese
Directions:
- In a large bowl, whisk together 12 large eggs, ¼ cup sour cream, ½ teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon black pepper.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture and stir the eggs, scrambling until fully cooked (about 2-3 minutes). Remove the scrambled eggs from the pan and set them aside.
- Take one 8-inch flour tortilla and place a slice of deli ham on it. Add approximately ½ cup of scrambled eggs, 1-2 tablespoons of pico de gallo, and sprinkle with cheddar cheese. Be careful not to overstuff the tortilla to make rolling easier.
- Roll the burrito from the bottom to the top. First, fold the bottom of the tortilla over the filling, then fold in the sides, and continue rolling until you reach the top, tucking in any filling as you go. Repeat this until all the burritos are filled.
