How to Make Breakfast Burritos Like McDonald’s
Breakfast burritos are a beloved morning staple, and for many, the golden standard is set by the breakfast burritos at McDonald’s. With their perfectly seasoned scrambled eggs, crispy bacon, melty cheese, and a warm tortilla, these breakfast burritos are a satisfying start to the day. If you’re looking to recreate that McDonald’s experience at home, we’ve got you covered with a step-by-step guide on how to make breakfast burritos like McDonald’s.
Ingredients
Before diving into the recipe, gather the following ingredients:
– 6 large eggs
– 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
– 4 strips of bacon, cooked and crumbled
– 1 large flour tortilla
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Cooking spray or oil
– Optional: salsa, sour cream, or hot sauce for serving
Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will help keep the tortilla warm while you prepare the filling.
2. Cook the Eggs: In a large skillet, cook the eggs over medium heat. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste. Scramble the eggs until they are fully cooked but still moist. Remove from heat and set aside.
3. Prepare the Tortilla: Lay the flour tortilla flat on a plate. Lightly coat one side with cooking spray or oil using a brush or paper towel. This will help prevent the tortilla from sticking to the skillet.
4. Add the Filling: Place the tortilla on a flat surface with the oiled side facing up. Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the tortilla. Add the cooked eggs, followed by the crumbled bacon.
5. Fold the Tortilla: Starting from one end, fold the tortilla over the filling. Tuck in the sides as you roll, ensuring the filling stays inside. Roll the tortilla completely, forming a tight cylinder.
6. Cook the Burrito: Place the rolled burrito in a preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the tortilla is heated through and the cheese is melted.
7. Serve: Remove the burrito from the oven and let it cool for a minute. Slice it in half and serve with your favorite toppings, such as salsa, sour cream, or hot sauce.
Expert Tips
– For a fluffier egg texture, beat the eggs with a fork or whisk before cooking.
– If you prefer a more crispy tortilla, cook it in a skillet with a bit of oil before adding the filling.
– Feel free to customize your breakfast burrito by adding other ingredients like tomatoes, onions, or bell peppers.
