Breakfast Burritos
Ingredients
- 5 large eggs
- 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 small shallot (diced)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 3/4 lb ground meat (I like 1/2 turkey, 1/2 beef)
- 2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese or any other cheese you like
- 6 (10-in) burrito-size flour tortillas
- Vegetable oil
- Salsa for serving
- Sour cream for serving
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs with the smoked paprika and some salt. Set aside.
Heat a large nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Add the shallots and cook for 3-4 mins then add garlic for 1 min.
Add ground meat, salt and pepper it and cook, stirring frequently, until done (about 8-10 mins).
Use a slotted spoon to transfer the meat from the pan to a plate, leaving the drippings in the pan.
Reduce the heat to low. Add the eggs and scramble until just cooked through.
Transfer the eggs to a plate. Clean the pan (you’ll use it again).
Assemble the burritos: Spoon about 1/4 cup of the salsa onto each tortilla (you’ll have a little leftover salsa; that’s for the cook!), followed by the meat, eggs, and cheese.
Fold in the sides of the tortilla over the filling and roll, tucking in the edges as you go.
Lightly coat the pan with oil and set over medium heat. When the pan is hot, add the burritos, seam side down.
Cook, covered, until the bottom of the burritos are golden brown, about 3 minutes.
Flip the burritos over and continue cooking, covered, until golden, a few minutes more. Serve warm.
