Pancake Breakfast Burritos are soft pancakes filled with eggs, cheese, and your favorite breakfast meats like sausage or bacon. They make a tasty, portable meal perfect for busy mornings or weekend brunch.
I like to roll mine up tightly so they don’t fall apart. Sometimes I make a big batch and freeze them—stuffing them in my bag is great for on-the-go mornings!
To save time, I often prepare the fillings ahead and assemble the burritos just before breakfast. Heating them in the microwave makes them warm and ready fast!
Ingredients & Substitutions
Flour tortillas: These hold everything together. I like large tortillas for a hearty wrap, but smaller ones work too. You can use whole wheat or regular flour tortillas—whole wheat adds a bit more fiber and flavor.
Eggs: The base for your burrito filling. I beat the eggs for a fluffy texture. For a richer taste, try adding a splash of milk. You can also use egg whites or a tofu scramble for a vegetarian option.
Cheese: Adds melty goodness and flavor. I recommend shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack, but mozzarella or pepper jack are good swaps for different spice levels.
Cooked bacon or sausage: These proteins give the burrito a nice savory punch. If you want a leaner option, try turkey bacon or cooked diced ham instead.
Vegetables: Bell peppers and onions are classic but feel free to add spinach, tomatoes, or even mushrooms. Fresh or sautéed—they all add texture and flavor.
How do I roll a perfect burrito without it falling apart?
Start by placing fillings in the center of the tortilla, leaving about 1-2 inches at the edges. Fold in the sides first, then tightly roll from the bottom up. Use your hands to keep everything snug and secure as you roll to prevent spilling.
- Ensure fillings aren’t overstuffed; less is more for easier rolling.
- Warm the tortilla slightly—this makes it more pliable and less likely to tear.
- Hold the rolled seam down with your fingers or a toothpick if needed for extra security.
