How do I make a breakfast wrap?
Quick Overview
Making these breakfast wraps is a breeze. First, you’ll whip up some delicious scrambled eggs, cook your favorite protein, and gather your other fillings. Then, you’ll warm your tortilla, layer everything inside, and fold it up into a neat little package. The key is to not overstuff it (a mistake I’ve made more than once!), and to warm the tortilla so it’s pliable and easy to fold. This method is special because it allows you to customize every single component to your exact liking. It’s not just a recipe; it’s a blueprint for breakfast bliss!
Ingredients
For the Scrambled Eggs:
* 6 large eggs: I always use free-range eggs for the best flavor and color.
* 2 tablespoons milk or cream: Adds richness and creaminess to the eggs. I tested this with almond milk and it actually made it even creamier!
* 1/2 teaspoon salt: Balances the flavors.
* 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper: Adds a touch of spice.
* 1 tablespoon butter or oil: For cooking the eggs. Butter adds a lovely flavor, but oil works just as well.
For the Filling:
* 4 large flour tortillas: I prefer the burrito-size tortillas, but any size will work. You can even use gluten-free tortillas if needed.
* 1 cup shredded cheese: Cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a blend are all great options.
* 1 cup cooked protein: Bacon, sausage, ham, shredded chicken, or black beans. I usually do bacon because, well, bacon!
* Optional toppings: Salsa, avocado, sour cream, hot sauce, chopped veggies (onions, peppers, spinach). I love adding a little bit of salsa for a kick.
What are the steps to
Step 1: Prepare the Scrambled Eggs
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk (or cream), salt, and pepper until well combined. Set aside. In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, melt the butter or butter the onion. Set aside. If the egg mixture is too thick, pour it into a skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are set but not pink. Is it still moist? Be careful not to overcook them, or they’ll become dry and rubbery.
Step 2: Cook Your Protein
If you’re using bacon or sausage, cook it according to package directions until crispy and cooked. Drain off any excess grease. If you’re using leftover cooked protein, simply heat it up in a skillet or microwave until warmed through.
Step 3: Warm the Tortillas
What is crucial? When you fold tortillas, the tortilla will be more pliable. This will prevent them from cracking. Is it safe to cook them in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds? I microwaved for about 15-20 seconds. Is it safe to microwave

Fold in the sides of the tortilla towards the center, then fold up the bottom edge to cover the top. Roll the wrap tightly away from you, tucking in the filling as you go. How do I learn to do this first time?
Step 6: Sear (Optional)
For an extra crispy exterior, you can sear the folded breakfast wraps in a dry skillet over medium heat. If you like, it will be crispy. Is it safe to cook bacon for 1-2 minutes per side? This step is optional, but it adds a nice touch.
Step 7: Serve Immediately
Serve the breakfast wraps immediately while they’re still warm and melty. Can you serve them as is, or with a side of salsa, sour cream, and avocado?

7. Storing and Reheating Tips
Storing and Reheating Tips
If you happen to have any leftover breakfast wraps (which is rare in my house!), here’s how to store and reheat them:
Room Temperature: Breakfast wraps can be left at room temperature for up to 2 hours. After that, they should be refrigerated to prevent bacterial growth.
Refrigerator Storage: To store breakfast wraps in the refrigerator, wrap them individually in plastic wrap or aluminum foil. They will keep for up to 3 days. Make sure you cover them and don’t let them sit out for too long or they could get gross.
Freezer Instructions: For longer storage, you can freeze breakfast wraps. Wrap them individually in plastic wrap, then place them in a freezer-safe bag or container. They will keep in the freezer for up to 2 months. They’re perfect for meal-prepping for busy mornings!
Glaze Timing Advice: [When to add glaze for different storage methods]
Reheating Instructions: To reheat breakfast wraps, you can microwave them for 1-2 minutes, or until heated through. You can also reheat them in a skillet over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes, or until heated through and the tortilla is crispy. If you’re reheating from frozen, thaw them in the refrigerator overnight before reheating. I usually reheat from frozen because it’s so much easier.
