Description
Whip up a copycat version of the beloved BK Breakfast Burrito right in your own kitchen! This recipe captures the classic fast-food favorite: fluffy scrambled eggs, melted cheese, and savory sausage wrapped in a soft tortilla for a quick, protein-packed, and satisfying breakfast you can enjoy at home.
Ingredients
-
2 large eggs, scrambled
-
1 large flour tortilla (10-inch)
- 2 oz cooked breakfast sausage, crumbled
-
1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
-
2 tbsp diced onions (optional)
-
1 tbsp butter or oil for cooking
-
Salt and pepper to taste
-
Optional for serving: salsa, hot sauce, or hash browns
Instructions
-
Cook Sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until browned and crumbled. Remove and set aside.
-
Scrambled Eggs: In the same skillet, add butter or oil. Sauté onions, if using, until softened. Pour in beaten eggs, season with salt and pepper, and scramble until fully cooked.
-
Assemble: Warm the tortilla briefly in the microwave or skillet for flexibility. Layer the scrambled eggs, cooked sausage, and shredded cheese in the center of the tortilla.
-
Fold: Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll tightly from the bottom to form a burrito.
-
Serve: Enjoy immediately, or wrap in foil to keep warm. Serve with salsa or hot sauce if desired.
Notes
Make-Ahead: Prepare the filling ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Assemble the burrito just before serving for the best texture.
Customize: Swap sausage for bacon, ham, or chorizo. Add diced bell peppers, tomatoes, or spinach for extra veggies.
Freezing: Wrap assembled burritos tightly in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 1 month. Reheat in the microwave or oven.
Crispy Option: For a crispy exterior, heat the assembled burrito in a skillet over medium heat for 1-2 minutes per side after rolling.
Portion Control: For a lighter version, use one egg and low-fat cheese, or opt for a smaller tortilla.
