The Ultimate Guide to Breakfast Burritos

So, you’re at home and looking to build the perfect breakfast burrito. As we mentioned earlier, everyone has unique preferences, so we’ll leave the flavor combinations to you. 

Instead, here are three keys to an awesome breakfast burrito. 

First Things First – Homemade or Store Tortillas?

Making your own tortillas is difficult. There is no way around it. There is also no shame in picking up a perfectly fine pack of delicious tortilla wraps. 

But, if you manage to make your own tortillas, you will take your burritos to the next level. Just remember to take the first burrito as a test – homemade tortillas may crumble faster if soggy. 

If you purchase your tortillas at your local grocery store, it’s important to consider the size of each wrap and ensure that you’re not underfilling or overloading it. 

Choosing and Preparing Your Fillings

Next, you need to consider each filling. In most cases, you will have to prepare each filing individually before assembling your burrito. Some fillings are easy, like grated cheese, while others require more work, like creamy scrambled eggs. 

Don’t give yourself so much work that you won’t end up enjoying your breakfast. If you’re hungry and want a loaded burrito, a fast food joint may be your best bet. 

Wrapping Your Burrito

Remember when we said not to overload your burrito? Not only does an overfilled burrito run the risk of disintegrating, but it’s also impossible to wrap properly. 

A perfect burrito should still be wrapable, so make sure to balance out the amount of filling properly to allow your breakfast to retain its practical shape.
