Chick-fil-A Breakfast Burrito

The Chick-fil A Breakfast Burrito offers a filling breakfast option, with scrambled egg, a choice of meat and cheese, as well as a delicious salsa, all wrapped up in a warm tortilla. This homemade version is perfect for those who are on the move or at home. It has the same delicious flavour that you love but with the flexibility to customize the dish exactly the way you want.

Ingredients you’ll need:

• 4 large eggs
• 2 flour tortillas (size 10 inches for good wrapping)
• Half a cup of shredded Monterey Jack or cheddar cheese
• Chop or crumble 1/2 cup cooked chicken or sausage (or bacon or any other protein)
• 1/4 cup diced red bell peppers
• 1/4 cup diced onion (optional).
• 2 tablespoons of salsa (mild or medium, depending on your taste)
• Butter or oil (for cooking), 1 tablespoon
• Taste salt and pepper
• Fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Cook the protein:

Start by cooking the protein. To make chicken, chop or shred cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces. If you are using bacon or sausage, chop or crumble them into small pieces and cook on medium heat. Put the protein to one side.

2. Sautee the vegetables (optional):

Heat a small amount of oil in a pan over medium heat before adding the bell peppers and onion. Sauté the peppers and onion dice for 2-3 minutes until softened. This step is optional, but it adds great texture and flavour to your burrito.

3. Scrambled Eggs

Crack the eggs in a bowl and whisk with a pinch each of salt and black pepper. Add 1 tablespoon of oil or butter to a nonstick pan and heat it over medium-high heat. Pour the eggs into the hot pan. Allow them to cook for 30 seconds without stirring, and then gently stir the eggs with a spatula. Continue to cook until the eggs have been fully scrambled and cooked through but are still soft and fluffy. Remove from heat.

4. Assemble your burritos

Place the two tortillas of flour on a clean surface. Divide the scrambled egg evenly between the tortillas. Sprinkle the cheese on top of the eggs as soon as they are warm to melt. Add the chicken, bacon, or sausage cooked in a skillet, along with peppers, onions, and salsa.

5. Roll the Burritos

Fold the sides of your tortilla carefully and roll it tightly to secure all the contents inside. Be sure to tuck the ends in so that nothing falls out.

6. Toast the Burrito Optional

To add a little more texture to your burrito, toast it. Place the burrito wrapped in foil seam-side up into a medium-heated nonstick pan. Cook the tortilla for 1-2 minutes on each side until it is golden brown. This step gives the burrito a nice crunch on the outside. You can skip this step if you want a softer texture.

7. Serve:

Slice the burritos in half to make them easier to eat. If you wish, garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with extra salsa or sour cream for dipping.

Breakfast burritos made perfect:

• You can customize your protein by using different types of meats, depending on the type you like or what’s available. For example, you could use bacon, sausage, grilled or boiled chicken or scrambled eggs for vegetarians.
• The Spice Level can be adjusted: To make the burrito spicy, you can add a little extra heat by adding chilli flakes and jalapenos.

• Heat the Tortillas First: Gently heating the tortillas for 20 seconds each on both sides makes it easier to roll them and prevents them from tearing.
