Ingredients:

6 large flour tortillas
8 large eggs
6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 bell pepper, diced
1 small onion, diced
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup salsa (optional)
1 avocado, sliced (optional)
1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
Salt and pepper, to taste
Aluminum foil (for wrapping)

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Cook the Bacon: In a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove from the pan, crumble, and set aside.
Sauté the Veggies: In the same skillet, add olive oil or butter and sauté the diced bell pepper and onion until softened, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and set aside.
Scramble the Eggs: In a bowl, whisk the eggs and season with salt and pepper. Pour them into the skillet and cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally until the eggs are scrambled and cooked through.
Assemble the Burritos: Lay the tortillas flat on a clean surface. In the center of each tortilla, layer a portion of scrambled eggs, sautéed veggies, crumbled bacon, shredded cheese, sour cream, salsa (if using), and sliced avocado (if using).
Wrap the Burritos: Carefully fold in the sides of each tortilla and roll it up tightly to form a burrito. Wrap each burrito in aluminum foil to keep everything intact.
Grill or Heat the Burritos:
- Grill Method: Preheat your grill to medium heat. Place the foil-wrapped burritos on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes per side until the tortillas are golden and crispy and the cheese is melted.
- Oven Method: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the foil-wrapped burritos on a baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until heated through and the cheese is melted.
Serve: Remove the burritos from the foil and serve with extra salsa, sour cream, or avocado on the side, if desired.

Expert Tips for the Recipe:

Customize the Fillings: Feel free to swap out the bacon for sausage or even a vegetarian option like black beans or sautéed mushrooms. You can also add more veggies, such as spinach, zucchini, or tomatoes, to suit your tastes.
Make-Ahead Option: These burritos are perfect for meal prepping. Prepare and wrap them in foil, then refrigerate them for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply warm them in the oven or microwave.
Spice It Up: Add a bit of heat with jalapeños, hot sauce, or a pinch of chili powder in the egg mixture.
Cheese Variations: Use your favorite cheese such as Monterey Jack, pepper jack, or even a mix of cheeses for extra flavor.
