Are you a fan of McDonald's breakfast burrito but trying to save money or want to customize your own version to your liking? You're in luck! We've got you covered with this easy-to-follow copycat recipe that yields delicious and satisfying results.
Ingredients You'll Need
To make a breakfast burrito that tastes like McDonald's, you'll need the following ingredients:
- 6 large eggs
- 6 slices of bacon or sausage patties
- 1/4 cup chopped onion
- 1/4 cup chopped green pepper
- 1/4 cup diced tomato
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 6 flour tortillas (8-inch size)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Butter or cooking spray for the pan
Instructions for Making the Breakfast Burrito
Now that you have your ingredients ready, it's time to start cooking.
- First, cook your bacon or sausage according to the package instructions. Once done, remove them from the pan and chop them into small pieces.
- In the same pan, sauté the chopped onion and green pepper until they become tender and slightly browned. If you want to add some extra flavor, you can also add some minced garlic. Remove the pan from the heat and set aside.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper until well combined. Then, pour the egg mixture into the same pan you used to cook the bacon and sausage. Cook the eggs over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until they are fully cooked and no longer runny.
- Heat up your tortillas by microwaving them for 15-20 seconds or heating them up on a dry skillet for a few seconds on each side.
- Now it's time to assemble your breakfast burrito. Take one tortilla and add a spoonful of the cooked egg mixture on the bottom third of the tortilla. Add a spoonful of the cooked bacon or sausage on top of the eggs, followed by some of the sautéed vegetables and diced tomatoes. Finally, sprinkle some shredded cheddar cheese on top.
- To wrap your burrito, fold the bottom of the tortilla up towards the center, then fold the left and right sides towards the center as well. Finally, roll the burrito up until it's fully sealed.
- Repeat the same process with the remaining tortillas and ingredients until you have six delicious breakfast burritos.
- If you like your breakfast burrito with a little extra flavor and texture, you can also add some salsa or hot sauce to the filling before wrapping it up.
Final Thoughts
There you have it! With just a few simple ingredients and steps, you can now make your own McDonald's-style breakfast burrito at home. Not only will you save some money, but you can also customize your burrito to your liking by adding or substituting ingredients.
