Pancake Breakfast Burritos are a fun and tasty way to start your day. They combine fluffy pancakes, eggs, and breakfast meats all rolled into a handheld wrap, perfect for busy mornings.
I like making them for family weekends. Watching everyone unwrap their burritos makes breakfast feel extra special and fun for all ages.
If you want, add some cheese or veggies inside for extra flavor. These burritos heat up nicely so you can make them ahead and still enjoy a quick breakfast!
Ingredients & Substitutions
Flour tortillas: These are the base of the burritos, soft and flexible. I recommend using whole wheat or regular flour tortillas. Warm them slightly to help them roll easier. Corn tortillas work, but may crack—consider double wrapping for sturdiness.
Eggs: They add protein and creaminess. Use large eggs for consistency. If you’re out, egg replacer or silken tofu can work for a veggie-packed version. Whisk well and cook until just set for a fluffy interior.
Cheese: Melted cheese ties the ingredients together. Cheddar or Monterey Jack are tasty choices. For a lighter option, use reduced-fat cheese or even omit it. Grated cheese melts nicely and adds richness.
Cooked Breakfast Meats: Sausage or bacon provide flavor and substance. Cook thoroughly before adding. Turkey bacon or veggie sausage are good substitutes—they cook just as quickly and cut down on fat.
Fruits & Veggies: Add diced bell peppers, onions, or a bit of fruit like tomatoes for freshness. Use any favorite veggies; sauté slightly for softer texture. Fresh is best, but frozen can be used if frozen first then drained.
How do I roll a perfect burrito without tearing the tortilla?
Start by placing fillings in the center, leaving space at the edges. Fold the sides in, then tuck the bottom flap over the filling firmly. Roll tightly from the bottom to the top. Use a toothpick if needed to keep it closed while eating, and don’t overstuff.
- Keep the fillings modest—too much makes rolling hard.
- Warming the tortilla first makes it more pliable.
- Use your palms to press and keep everything snug as you roll.
