Breakfast Burrito is a breakfast staple we keep on Scoops & Dishes because it rewards a clear metric method: grams and millilitres, Australian cups (250 ml), and steps you can follow without scrolling past a novel. As written it serves 2. Budget about 10 mins to prep and 15 mins to cook or bake, roughly 25 mins all up, across 7 ingredients and 3 method steps. Key building blocks: eggs, bacon and cheddar. If you need a substitute, change one thing at a time and expect the texture notes below to matter more than the timer. Use it for weekday mornings, lazy weekends, and anything in between, then plate it hot with a coffee or tea on the side. Scale the batch up for guests or keep it to one pan for a quiet solo breakfast. Metric spoons here mean a 20 ml tablespoon and a 5 ml teaspoon. We write breakfast recipes so you can cook from your phone on the bench: large checkable ingredients, numbered steps, and notes you can skim while the pan heats.

Ingredients

4 eggs, scrambled
100 g bacon, cooked and chopped
50 g (1/2 cup) cheddar, grated
2 large flour tortillas
1/2 avocado, sliced
Salsa and sour cream, to serve
Salt and pepper, to taste

Method

Warm tortillas. Fill with scrambled eggs, bacon, cheese and avocado.
Add salsa and sour cream. Roll tightly, tucking in ends.
Optional: toast seam-side down in a dry pan until sealed.

Tip: Wrap in foil to take on the go — they stay warm for ages.

Notes

Putting it together for Breakfast Burrito: work clean, taste as you go, and do not rush browning or reduction steps if they appear in the method. If you are cooking for mixed diets, plate sauces and toppings separately where practical. Keep this page bookmarked if it becomes a household regular — we update wording when cooks report a confusing step. Metric consistency across Scoops & Dishes means once you trust the cups and scales here, breakfast through dessert behaves the same way.
Why this page is written this way: we keep the story short and put the value in practical detail — ingredient order, heat cues, and storage — because that is what helps a home cook succeed on a Tuesday night. If a step feels unclear, email [email protected] and we will tidy the wording on the next pass.
From our tested tip, expanded: Wrap in foil to take on the go — they stay warm for ages. Treat that as the non-negotiable. If something still feels off — too wet, too pale, too tight — adjust one variable at a time (heat, liquid, or bake time) rather than changing three things at once.
Shopping and mise en place: read the full ingredient list once before you start. For Breakfast Burrito, eggs and bacon are the items that decide whether the dish tastes flat or properly seasoned. Weigh where grams are given — volume cups are fine for liquids and some dry goods, but baking ratios are tighter if you use scales. Australian cups are 250 ml; a tablespoon is 20 ml and a teaspoon is 5 ml.
