🛒 Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon milk or cream (optional, for fluffier eggs)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon butter or oil
  • 1/4 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your choice)
  • 1/2 ripe avocado, sliced
  • 1 large flour tortilla (8–10 inch)
  • Optional: salsa, hot sauce, or sour cream for serving

🍳 Instructions

1. Scramble the Eggs:

  1. In a bowl, beat the eggs with milk, salt, and pepper.
  2. Heat butter or oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat.
  3. Pour in the eggs and gently stir with a spatula until softly scrambled (2–3 minutes). Remove from heat.

2. Warm the Tortilla:

  1. Place the tortilla in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 20–30 seconds per side, or microwave for 10–15 seconds until soft and pliable.

3. Assemble the Burrito:

  1. Lay the warm tortilla flat.
  2. Spoon the scrambled eggs in the center.
  3. Sprinkle with shredded cheese (it will melt from the warmth).
  4. Add sliced avocado.
  5. Optionally, drizzle with salsa or a little sour cream.

4. Wrap it Up:

  1. Fold the sides of the tortilla in, then roll it tightly from the bottom up to form a burrito.

5. Serve:

  1. Serve immediately while warm.
  2. For extra flavor, lightly grill the wrapped burrito in the skillet for 1–2 minutes per side.

💡 Tips:

  • Add cooked bacon or sausage for even more calories and protein.
  • You can prep the filling ahead for quick assembly during busy mornings.
  • Double the recipe for a bigger serving or to share.
