Simple breakfast recipe with eggs, bacon, sausage, onions, green peppers, and cheddar cheese. A versatile recipe that can be adjusted to anyone's pantry and favorite ingredients.

The first time I ever had a breakfast burrito was fresh out of college, after a night of hanging out with my friends. We would wake up the next morning, a few of us would run to the grocery store, grab eggs, tortilla, onions, pepper, and bacon. Cook everything up, and then assemble to preference. I always added ketchup in mine before rolling it up, 😉 now I just dip it in ketchup.
Since then, I had only made them a few times and didn’t think much of them. Until my niece asked me to create her a breakfast burrito recipe. Now, it has become one of my husband’s favorites go to for breakfast options. Classic Bacon & Sausage Breakfast Burrito. Especially when he is looking for something hearty and filling.
I make a batch, toss them in the freezer, and we have them as a quick and easy go to breakfast.
The best part of this recipe is it is beyond versatile and very hard to mess up. My preference would be to omit the bacon and have peppery sausage. While others may like to remove the bacon and sausage and add more veggies. Possibilities are endless!!
