How This Recipe Comes Together

Ingredients:

2-3 large eggs
1 tablespoon butter
Salt and pepper (to taste)
1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
3 tablespoons fresh salsa
1/2 avocado (cut into chunks, optional)

Directions:

Preheat a cast iron skillet or a heavy-bottomed pan over low to medium heat.
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl. Whisk them together until the yolks are broken and the mixture is fluffy. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Melt the butter in the preheated skillet, making sure it coats the bottom.
Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet. Let them spread evenly and cook for about 20-30 seconds.
Start gently scraping around the edges of the pan with a silicone spatula. This will help create nice curds.
Continue to slide the spatula through the eggs until they’re fully cooked. This should take about 1-2 minutes.
Transfer the scrambled eggs to a bowl and top them with shredded cheddar cheese, fresh salsa, and cubed avocado if you like.
Serve your Breakfast Burrito Bowl hot and enjoy!

How to Serve Breakfast Burrito Bowl

Serve the Breakfast Burrito Bowl warm, straight from the pan. It’s great on its own but feels even heartier if you add a side of toast or a few tortilla chips for crunch. You can also set up a small toppings bar with extra salsa, hot sauce, or even a sprinkle of fresh herbs for everyone to customize their bowls.

How to Store Breakfast Burrito Bowl

If you have leftovers, store the Breakfast Burrito Bowl in an airtight container. It will keep well in the fridge for 1-2 days. When you’re ready to eat, you can reheat it in the microwave until warmed through. For best results, keep the toppings separate until you’re ready to serve.

Tips to Make Breakfast Burrito Bowl

Use a lower heat to ensure the eggs cook evenly and don’t dry out.
If you like your eggs creamy, remove them from the heat just before they’re fully cooked, as they will continue to cook in their residual heat.
Experiment with other toppings like diced tomatoes, jalapeños, or black beans for added flavor and nutrition.

Variations

Feel free to modify the Breakfast Burrito Bowl by adding ingredients like cooked sausage, bacon, or even sautéed vegetables. You can also try different cheeses like pepper jack or feta for a new twist.
