Loaded Breakfast Egg & Avocado Burrito

Description:
This hearty breakfast burrito is packed with fluffy scrambled eggs, creamy avocado, juicy tomatoes, and melted cheese, all wrapped in a warm toasted tortilla. It’s a balanced, protein-rich meal that’s perfect for a filling breakfast or brunch. The combination of textures—soft eggs, buttery avocado, and slightly crisp tortilla—makes every bite satisfying and flavourful.

Ingredients (Serves 2):

  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 large flour tortillas
  • 1 ripe avocado (sliced)
  • 1 medium tomato (diced)
  • ½ cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
  • 2 tbsp milk
  • 1 tbsp butter or oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: chopped parsley or cilantro for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the eggs: In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  2. Cook the eggs: Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture and gently scramble until soft and slightly creamy. Remove from heat before overcooking.
  3. Warm tortillas: Heat tortillas in a dry pan or microwave for 20–30 seconds until pliable.
  4. Assemble the burrito: Lay each tortilla flat. Add scrambled eggs in the centre, then top with cheese, diced tomatoes, and avocado slices.
  5. Wrap it up: Fold in the sides and roll tightly into a burrito.
  6. Toast (optional): Place burrito seam-side down in a skillet and toast until golden brown.
  7. Serve: Slice in half, garnish with herbs, and enjoy warm.

Notes & Tips:

  • Use fresh, ripe avocado for the best creamy texture.
  • Don’t overcook the eggs—they should remain soft for a better bite.
  • Add extras like cooked bacon, sausage, or sautéed veggies for variety.
