Description

A delicious and filling breakfast burrito bowl loaded with scrambled eggs, cheese, and salsa.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 23 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • ¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 3 tablespoons fresh salsa
  • ½ avocado cut into chunks (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat a cast iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan over low-medium heat.
  2. Add the eggs to a medium-sized bowl and whisk to break the yolks. Season with salt and pepper to your taste, and whisk until the eggs are fluffy.
  3. Add the butter to the preheated skillet and swirl to coat.
  4. Pour in the eggs and allow them to spread in an even layer. Cook for 20-30 seconds, then begin by scraping around the edges of the pan with a silicone spatula.
  5. Slide the silicone spatula through the eggs, creating curds, until the eggs are cooked through; about 1-2 minutes total.
  6. Transfer the scrambled eggs to a bowl and top with shredded cheddar cheese, salsa, cubed avocado, and the toppings of your choice.
  7. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • Dairy free: Use avocado oil or coconut oil in place of the butter in this recipe.
  • With ham, bacon, or sausage: Add in cooked, chopped meat just before adding the eggs. Saute until warmed through, then pour in the eggs and scramble.
  • With peppers and onions: Add finely diced peppers and onions to a skillet along with some butter and cooking until softened, about 3-5 minutes. Then pour in the eggs and scramble them with the peppers and onions.
  • Additional topping suggestions: Cotija cheese, queso fresco, hot sauce, sour cream, fried potatoes, crispy tortilla strips, salsa verde, enchilada sauce, crema, lime wedges, guacamole, corn tortilla chips, chopped fresh cilantro, etc.
