Breakfast burritos with avocado are a tasty way to start the day. They include eggs, cheese, and often some breakfast sausage or bacon wrapped in a warm tortilla, with creamy avocado inside.
I like to think of them as portable breakfast goodies. Sometimes I sneak in a little hot sauce just to make mornings more exciting!
For easy eating, I wrap them in foil so they stay warm and neat. They’re great for busy mornings or on-the-go brunches.
Ingredients & Substitutions
Avocado: The creamy texture and mild flavor of ripe avocado make it perfect for breakfast burritos. Tip: Let your avocado ripen fully for the best taste. Substitute with hummus or mashed peas if you prefer a different spread.
Eggs: Fluffy scrambled eggs provide a soft base. For extra flavor, add a pinch of chili powder or cheese. If you’re out of eggs, scrambled tofu is a great vegan alternative.
Cheese: Melted cheese adds richness and pulls everything together. Use cheddar or Monterey Jack. If you want a lighter option, try part-skim mozzarella or nutritional yeast.
Warm Tortillas: Soft flour tortillas serve as the perfect wrap. Warm them briefly in a skillet or microwave for easier rolling. Gluten-free tortillas work well too, just check the package.
Salsa: Brightens the burrito with freshness and a touch of acidity. Choose your favorite—mild or spicy. Salsa verde or pico de gallo are tasty alternatives.
How do I keep the burritos from falling apart when wrapping?
Wrap the bottom edge of the tortilla over the fillings first, then fold in the sides, and finally roll tightly from the bottom up. Keep fillings centered and not too full. A firm roll ensures it stays closed while eating.
- Start by folding in sides evenly as you roll.
- Use gentle but firm pressure to keep everything secure.
- If needed, wrap in foil to hold shape before eating.
