The breakfast burrito offers a savory and filling flavor profile. Key elements include eggs, cheese, and meat, complemented by various spices and sauces. The tortilla provides a comforting texture.
Common ingredients include scrambled eggs (often seasoned with salt, pepper, and sometimes milk or cream), melted cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a blend), and cooked meat (bacon, sausage, chorizo, or ham). Additional fillings might include potatoes (either diced or hash browns), onions, peppers, tomatoes, beans (black or pinto), and salsa. The flavors are enhanced by spices like cumin, chili powder, and garlic powder. The burrito is typically wrapped in a large flour tortilla.

Tortilla Preparation
Warm the tortilla on a dry skillet or in the microwave to make it pliable and prevent cracking. A slightly warm tortilla is easier to roll and hold its shape.
Ingredient Layering
Layer ingredients strategically, placing wetter ingredients (like salsa or beans) in the center to prevent the tortilla from becoming soggy. Position cheese near the warm ingredients to ensure it melts evenly.
Rolling Technique
Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then tightly roll it from the bottom up, tucking the ingredients in as you go. A tight roll prevents the burrito from falling apart.
Adding Heat
To prevent sogginess, consider broiling/toasting the finished burrito briefly. Just make sure you keep a close eye on it and don't overcook.
