Start your breakfast right with these hot, tasty, one-handed burritos. Whether your kids crave a classic like bacon, egg, and cheese or if you want to add in the veggies, these are so easy to adapt to your favorite flavors. Best yet is the cast iron fries the tortillas to make them crunchy warm and oh so snackable.

Breakfast Burritos 2 ways:
Bacon, Egg, and Cheese:
Extra virgin olive oil for cooking
4 slices of bacon
4 eggs
Sea salt and freshly cracked pepper
1/2 cup grated cheddar, divided
3 (8″) flour tortillas
Softened butter

Mushroom, Pepper, and Spinach:
Extra virgin olive oil for cooking
4 oz. sliced mushrooms
1 cup diced bell pepper
1 cup spinach leaves
Sea salt and freshly cracked pepper
4 eggs
1/4 cup mozzarella cheese
3 (8″) flour tortillas
Softened butter

Make the Bacon, Egg, and Cheese:
In a large cast-iron, fry up your bacon. Set to the side then whisk your eggs, season with salt and pepper, and add in 1/4 cup of the cheddar. Scramble the eggs in the oil from cooking the bacon.

To assemble, lay out your tortillas and spread some softened butter on top. Then top with crumbled bacon, cheesy scrambled eggs, and finish with the remaining grated cheese. Wrap the finished burritos tightly in aluminum foil. Then I pack the wrapped burritos in a large ziplock bag that goes in my cooler.

Make the Mushroom, Pepper, and Spinach:
In a large cast-iron, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and heat for one minute before adding your veggies. Saute the veggies for 3-4 minutes before flipping to brown on other sides. Season with some salt and pepper as you’re cooking. After your mushrooms have browned and your peppers have softened and caramelized (2-3 more minutes), remove to a plate on the side. Discard any juices as they will make the burritos soggy.

Next, whisk your eggs, season with salt and pepper, and add in the mozzarella. Add additional oil if the pan is dry, then scramble the eggs.

To assemble, lay out your tortillas and spread some softened butter on top. Then top with eggs and veggies. Wrap the finished burritos tightly in aluminum foil. Then I pack the wrapped burritos in a large ziplock bag that goes in my cooler.

To Cook at the Campsite
In a Cast Iron
When you’re ready to cook, begin by heating a cast iron on medium heat on your grill grate or campfire stove. Add a pat or two of butter to your pan then add in your burritos (you may need to fry in batches to keep warm). Fry the burritos for about 2-3 minutes per side until browned all around and warmed inside (around 10-15 minutes).

In the Embers
You can alternately keep the burritos wrapped in foil and cook in the campfire embers as seen below. You’ll just want to have tongs and fireplace gloves to rotate the burritos to warm on all sides (about 10-15 minutes). This method has the bonus of being easy and allowing you to warm a lot of burritos at once. The one thing you miss is the crispiness the cast iron gives the outside of the tortilla.

On the Grill
You can also cook the foil-wrapped burritos on the grill for 10-15 minutes, rotating as you go.
