Description

A delicious fusion of tacos and breakfast with seasoned ground beef, fluffy scrambled eggs, and fresh toppings wrapped in a warm tortilla.


Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef (80/20)
  • 1 onion (diced)
  • 4 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
  • 1 jalapeño (diced)
  • 8 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup half-and-half
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup American cheese
  • 1 large tomato (diced)
  • 1 avocado (diced)
  • 1 cup refried beans
  • Hot sauce (for serving)


Instructions

  1. Cook the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat until no longer pink, then drain excess fat.
  2. Add the diced onion, garlic, jalapeño, taco seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook until the onion softens.
  3. Transfer the beef mixture to a bowl and set aside.
  4. Whisk eggs with half-and-half in a medium bowl until combined.
  5. Soft-scramble the eggs in a skillet with melted butter over medium-low heat until just set.
  6. Warm tortillas in a skillet or microwave, and warm the refried beans.
  7. Assemble each tortilla with a layer of refried beans, scrambled eggs, beef, cheese, diced tomato, and avocado.
  8. Roll the burritos tightly and serve immediately with hot sauce.

Notes

Add fresh avocado right before serving for the best texture. For extra crispiness, toast the burrito seam-side down in a skillet for 1–2 minutes.
