Inside, several thin, dark reddish-brown slices of meat are stacked near the bottom. Above the meat, there is a thick layer of scrambled eggs mixed with small pieces of green, red, and yellow bell peppers and onions, giving a colorful, speckled texture. Some melted white cheese is also visible on the side. The whole wrap looks tightly packed and fresh. The background features a white marbled surface. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

2 tortillas
4 slices of turkey bacon
½ cup shredded Mexican style cheese
2 eggs
¾ cup egg whites
½ cup diced bell peppers
¼ cup diced onion
4 tsp taco seasoning
Olive oil spray, or olive oil or butter
Salt
Black pepper

Instructions

Step 1: Add olive oil spray, diced bell peppers, and diced onion to a small non-stick pan over medium heat. Sauté for 3-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg whites, and taco seasoning until evenly combined.
Step 3: Pour the egg mixture into the pan with the sautéed vegetables. Scramble the eggs until fully cooked. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Step 4: Cook the turkey bacon in another pan over medium-high heat for 1-2 minutes on each side until crispy.
Step 5: To assemble, divide the shredded cheese evenly between the two tortillas. Top the cheese with the scrambled eggs and then place two slices of turkey bacon on each.
Step 6: Carefully roll each tortilla into a burrito. Serve immediately or store for later.

Tips & Variations

Use whole wheat or low-carb tortillas for a healthier option.
Swap turkey bacon for cooked sausage or ham if preferred.
Add avocado or salsa inside the burrito for extra flavor and creaminess.
Prepare the filling the night before to save time in the morning.

Storage

Store leftover burritos wrapped tightly in foil or plastic wrap in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze the burritos in a sealed container or freezer bag for up to 1 month. To reheat, thaw in the refrigerator overnight if frozen, then microwave or heat in a skillet until warmed through.
